If you don’t have iPhoto installed on your Mac, the only way to shuffle the photos in a slideshow is to use the built-in screen saver. Until then, here’s a quick way to randomly play back a collection of photos in your Photos library. Hopefully Apple will reintroduce that feature back into the Photos app sometime soon. By shuffling the order of the photos, you can make the slideshow more interesting without spending time sifting through the whole album to find the best ones. If you play back the photos in the order they were shot, parts of the slideshow seem repetitive. Often we’ll have several photos of the same subject taken about the same time. This was a big loss for those of us who have to quickly create slideshows from a large number of photos for a party or school event.
When you do, the name of the document will still appear first, but it will be followed by the data in the selected field- Unsolicited Pitch-Frank and Unsolicited Pitch-Doris, for instance.When Apple replaced iPhoto with the new Photos app in OS X Yosemite, we lost the ability to shuffle (randomize) the slide order. Select the name of the recipient under the first step and then choose Assign For Use With File Naming from this pop-up menu. By default they’re assigned with the Pages’ document name followed by a number- Unsolicited Pitch-1, Unsolicited Pitch-2, and so on. It’s also within step 2’s pop-up menu that you can choose how your merged documents will be named. The letter M will appear to the right of the selected email address indicating that the addresses in this column will be used as the To address in your messages. If you intend to email the results of your work, select the email address that appears in the list under step 1 and, from step 2’s pop-up menu, choose Assign As Email Recipient Address. In order for this to work you must create a list of email addresses for your recipients in your Numbers document (having an email placeholder in the Pages document isn’t necessary). In step 5 you can choose to email a copy of your merged document to your recipients. When you make a selection in the second step, its name appears under the Assigned Placeholder Tags heading in the first step. Select the one associated with the entry you highlighted in step 1 (in the example you’d choose FIRSTNAME). Click on the pop-up menu next to the second step and you’ll see a list of all the placeholders you’ve created in the Pages document. Select the first item in the list (in my example you’d select Frank).
When you do, the information from the first column in the Numbers document will appear in the Data Record Items area. In the area marked with a 1, choose Selection of Numbers Table from the pop-up menu and click the Import button. Launch the Pages Data Merge app and walk through the numbered steps. In Numbers, create a spreadsheet that includes the data you want to merge. (The column header need not match the placeholder names you’ve created.) Now select all the rows that contain the data you want to merge.
You then launch Numbers and create a spreadsheet that includes columns for each entry. Select placeholder text and assign a script tag to it. Repeat for each bit of text that you wish to use as a placeholder. Into this field enter the name of your placeholder-FIRSTNAME, ADDRESS, PHONE, MATENAME, or whatever’s most appropriate. A Script Tag field will appear in the Text pane to the right. Now select the first placeholder entry and from Pages’ Format menu choose Advanced > Define As Placeholder Text.
