Setting up your song list in a clean and
organized fashion makes it easy to move around without sending
the wrong things to the screen. During the service there is
not a lot of time to react if things do not go as you
expected.
The following steps proceed the background setup. For a list
of instructions on how to setup the pre-made PowerPoint
backgrounds supplied on this site

your own backgrounds

Below is a list of instructions on how to insert a song into
your song list. The slides will be inserted under the slide
you have highlighted. Highlight the top slide to have the song
inserted just under the welcome screen. We do not use a blank
slide after the title as this allows us to move right from the
welcome screen into the worship. Blank slides are a series of
dashes "-------" that we use to create spaces between the
songs.
STEP 1. Under the drop down menus click on Insert, and then
choose the "Slides from files...." option.
STEP 2. In the popup window choose the Browse button.
STEP 3. Under the look in drop down list locate the directory
where your songs are located, then choose a song you wish to
insert, and click open.
STEP 4. Click on the insert all button, and then click on the
close window button.
Once the slides have been inserted they can easily be moved
around in the slide layout view. To move a single slide drag
it to a new location. To move a group of slides or an entire
song click on the first slide then hold down the shift key and
click on the bottom slide.
Always keep a blank slide at the bottom of the list. If you
accidentally enter a number using the keyboard that is higher
than the slide numbers in your presentation you will be moved
to the last slide in the list. If this is blank slide, you
wont be sending the wrong song to the screen. The blank slide
at the end also allows you to arrow down when the last song is
over.
You will need to copy the
HalvettBlackCond font into your windows font directory.
All the downloadable songs have been formatted using this
font. The font is the same type as Arial only bolder and more
condensed. It works excellent as a projected font as it is
more readable. The file needs to be copied to your
WINDOWS\FONTS directory.
