Moving between Powerpoint Files
Posted: Tue Aug 11, 2009 11:01 pm
When I began using your great programme I was advised to split the service up into smaller Powerpoint files. In this way I am able to put the songs in their appropriate places in the Play List and it has worked very well with one exception.
I have the service divided into many different parts. Some of these parts are sometimes used each Sunday and some are used alternate Sundays. (For example, we may have a different prayer in the same place each week of the month, so there are four files used alternately. For ease of setting up, these four prayers are left in the playlist.) When the preceding Powerpoint file is finished the next file is opened. Between the movement between one file and the next, the recently played song (still in the right song window) appears briefly which is unwanted and annoying.
If the song screen is turned off (icon top right) that does not happen but turning that off is not always satisfactory as operators forget to turn it back on and then panic when the next song does not appear on the screen.
Hopefully there is a method to get around this problem. Thanks.
