I am using powerpoint to create flashcards for my language studies. I just set up 2 lines of text with the word in each language and set the animation of the second line to appear after the first line. I found a helpful macro that randomizes the order of the slides so that I am not always going through the words in the same order. However, it would also be very helpful to be able to reverse the order- currently the English word is shown first and I try to come up with the word in the foreign language. Is there an easy way to reverse the order so that the foreign language is shown first and I come up with the English word, without having to go through the whole slideshow and manually reverse the animations for each individual slide? Is there a setting, or a simple macro that can do that?

Would be good to see the file but if there are only 2 simple animations try:
Sub reversi()
Dim osld As Slide
For Each osld In ActivePresentation.Slides
If osld.TimeLine.MainSequence.Count = 2 Then ' 2 animations
osld.TimeLine.MainSequence(2).MoveTo 1
End If
Next osld
End Sub
BTW We have a proper flash card creation AddIn (not free but cheap)
