I am trying to create a Memory Game in Powerpoint. I have textboxes with words, aligned in a table. I want to be able to click on a "Shuffle" command and all of the words will randomly be placed in a different place in the table. I have added a picture to show what I mean.If there is a way to do this in Excel and then import the table to Powerpoint, that is OK as well.

Excel Facts

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Here is an excel file for building Bingo Cards. I think this concept can be modified to your needs.

It doesn't seem like it will work exactly. My goal is that whoever is presenting the PowerPoint can click on a button that will automatically run a macro to randomize the placement of the words.

Build a command button and attach this code to it.

VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Application.Calculate
End Sub
