Being a teacher, its been several months since I've tried to do this, but
seems like this has worked for me before.
Using PowerPoint 2000, I am inserting pictures, then under Custom Animation
choosing Random Effects on the Effect Tab. Then I click on the next picture
on the next slide, and click F4, which in my opion should also mark that
picture as Random Effects. It isn't doing so. F4 works with adding borders,
with resizing pictures, with moving pictures to a specified location, just
not with adding Random Effects. I set up presentations weekly with
approximately 60 to 80 pictures of students weekly. Please help me with a
better solution. |

I agree - but it doesn't work. Even in powerpoint 2003.

You could add one picture per slide as you are doing currenly,
then add the "random transition" to all the slides from the 'slide sorter' -
this will animation each slide as opposed to each object/picture on a slide.

I don't think it's ever been possible to copy animation in this way. The only
way is either an Add In eg Animation Carbon or some vba code.
This code will zip through your presentation and add a random animation to
all pictures (random is horrible BTW!)
Sub randomme()
'not for xp or later
Dim osld As Slide
Dim oshp As Shape
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
For Each oshp In osld.Shapes
If oshp.Type = msoPicture Then
With oshp.AnimationSettings
..EntryEffect = ppEffectRandom
..AdvanceMode = ppAdvanceOnClick
End With
End If
Next oshp
Next osld
End Sub
Don't know what to do with it?

NB the animation engine in XP onwards is very different this code is for
earlier versions

This might solve that problem:
Apply a random transition to every slide in a presentation

It applies semi-random transitions to slides; that is, it allows you to create
your own list of "acceptable" transitions then applies randomly from the list.
