Show random slides

I have a large presentation with about 60 slides and only
want to display random slides during the slide show
presentation. Instead of copying the slides I want to
show to a separate file, is there a way to select the
individual slides for the presentation?
 
There are a number of ways to do what you want. The easiest thing is
probably to go to Slide Sorter view, select the slides you don't want to
show and hide them (choose "Hide Slide" from the Slide Show menu). You
could set up custom shows and possibly a menu that links you to different
custom shows. Finally, the most difficult solution is to use VBA to make
it truly random so each time you run the show it shows randomly selected
different slides. That is probably more trouble than it is worth, but it
can be made to do exactly what you want.
