You ask a lot of questions. It seems like the most important one is that all your hyperlinks disappear when you quit, but I'm not sure why that is happening. You should mention the version of PowerPoint you are using. I don't think this applies in 2007, but in earlier versions, there is a limit to the amount of hyperlink storage space. However, usually, that doesn't make all the links disappear, but some disappear while others end up pointing to the wrong place. You might check out this article to look into that problem: Lost hyperlinks, hyperlinks link to wrong place, hyperlinks stop working http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00401.htm Now, to your other problems. You might do well to search for a template, rather than creating your own. I'm sure there are many Who Wants to be a Millionaire templates that your favorite search engine can find. However, if you want to do it yourself and if you want to be able to ask random questions, you are going have to think about VBA. My site (http://www.PowerfulPowerPoint.com/) has some examples that ask random questions (click on Examples by Chapter and Chapter 8 and look at the later examples). These aren't in the format of the Who Wants to be a Millionaire game, but they might point you in the right direction if you are going to code some VBA. Alternatively, you might find that some of the examples might just serve your purpose, and you can modify the slides and add your own with little or no change in the VBA code. Finally, you might look at this page that has more ideas about randomizing slides: Randomize the order of a PowerPoint presentation http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00429.htm -- David M.
