Powerpoint vba and random cards

[Ray Villeneuve]

I'm interested in making a tarot reading application, you know,
with a random spread of one to ten cards, display the cards, click on it for
a def of card, I tried PowerPoint, but cant do the coding for the random
thing, displaying multiple cards on one page.... I think it is possible, in
vba, but like I said, I know less than zip

any help is appreciated
thanks

flames appreciated too

You can certainly do this with VBA in PowerPoint. You would need a graphic
image of each card hidden on your slide. You could then randomly make
visible between one and ten cards setting the location of each card so they
don't overlap. This wouldn't be too difficult in VBA. Perhaps someone will
respond here with a PowerPoint that already does this, but if you want to
start learning about VBA, check out this site from the PPT FAQ:
