Shuffle slides without shuffling narration

[Jordan_Kai]

Hey all,

I am working on a project for a lab that I am.

I found some excellent code that allows me to shuffle the order of a subset of slides. This works great and is very useful.

My goal, however, is to have audio playing over the slides when viewed. But I want this audio to be maintained in the slide position, rather than following the slides as they are shuffled.

Is this possible? Or should I look for a different way to approach this problem.

I have attached the code if that is helpful at all.

Sub pseudoCP()
On Error GoTo err
Dim opic As Shape
Dim osld As Slide
Dim newPic As Shape
Dim isPic As Boolean
Dim isTall As Boolean

Set opic = ActiveWindow.Selection.ShapeRange(1)
Set osld = opic.Parent

If opic.Type = msoPicture Then isPic = True
If opic.Type = msoPlaceholder Then
If opic.PlaceholderFormat.ContainedType = msoPicture Then isPic = True
End If

If Not isPic Then
err.Raise Number:=vbObjectError + 1000, Description:="Selection is not a picture"
Exit Sub
End If

If opic.Height >= opic.Width Then isTall = True

Set newPic = osld.Shapes.AddPicture("C:\Users\John\Desktop\Pic1.jpg", msoFalse, msoTrue, 0, 0, -1, -1)
newPic.LockAspectRatio = True 'should already be set but worth checking

If newPic.Height >= newPic.Width And isTall = True Then
newPic.Height = opic.Height
newPic.Top = opic.Top
newPic.Left = opic.Left + opic.Width / 2 - newPic.Width / 2
Else
newPic.Width = opic.Width
newPic.Left = opic.Left
newPic.Top = opic.Top + opic.Height / 2 - newPic.Height / 2
End If
opic.Delete
Exit Sub
err:
MsgBox err.Description
End Sub

The code you posted does not shuffle slides (I wrote it BTW)
Code to shuffle slides would almost certainly also shuffle audio. Not impossible to fix but quite difficult.
