How to shuffle photos (random order) in slide show?

The Help of my iPhoto says I can somewhere set an option to make the slide order of photos in a slideshow be random (shuffle). I don't see this in any of the menus! The help says

"Click Settings at the top of the Slideshow window to set one or more of the following options:"

my Settings are at the bottom, not at the top, and I see all the other choices (music, transition effects, etc.) but nothing about play order. Am I missing something?

Hi Michael,
You can only shuffle slides in the "on the fly" slideshows. This is the slideshow that you get by selecting an album or group of photos and hitting the Play icon (arrow) at bottom left area of toolbar.

This is one problem with on the fly slideshows and Ken Burns as you have no control on the zoom and the pan. If you want to have control you have to use the slideshow icon to create the slideshow and edit the Ken Burns effect on all or only those that are giving you the problem, Of course, you now can't do the random shuffle of slides.
