If you have not read the
ReadMe file,
it is suggested you do so at this time.
We also ask you to fill out the
registration card and mail it to us or
fill out the registration form at:
www.paperlesshymnal.com/ssl/regform.htm
We will be emailing out information
about corrections, updates, and
future volumes to those who do register.
Press SPACE for next slide.
Some other suggestions:
If the sermon is also a Power Point presentation, incorporate both the song service and
the sermon into one presentation. When selecting a background for the sermon slides,
do not use the “apply to all” option. This will cause problems for your song slides
when the sermon is added to the song file. Have the minister create a slide from which
he can create the rest of his slides using copy/paste.
After you have created your song and sermon presentation, save it out as a Power Point
Show (pps), then create a shortcut to the file and place the icon on the desktop. This
way the correct presentation will be shown and it will start on slide one.
You may wish to not include the invitation song in your song service presentation.
Make a slide that will show the song number only. This will give you the normal
versatility to make adjustments as needed.
Do not be afraid to turn the projector off and just go with the book.
Things happen and you need to be flexible.
Press SPACE for next slide.
Click to view an actual service.
The first slide will be black. Press “space” to advance the slides.
If you add the hymn numbers to the files that were created
when you copied The PAPERLESS HYMNAL™ from the
CD, you will not have to insert the number each time you
create you song service.
