Choose a Random Number in PowerPoint

This may seem difficult to achieve in PowerPoint without vba code. However, there are ways to avoid using vba or macros, which may be useful if you are using a free viewer or using Open Office or the security level may not be sufficient to run the macros.

The solution is to use a spinner, akin to those we see in the gameshow "Wheel of Fortune". One limitation of this is that it is not 100% random (unless we make it fast enough, so that there is little chance of using skill to time the result). Another shortfall is that there will be limited choices of numbers/words, whereas in a real random generator, we can have theoretically unlimited options.

Nevertheless, it is still a useful tool in classes or parties, where you can even have your own game of "Wheel of Fortune"!
