point and click ease of display that you get with songs. Your PowerPoint slides are spread
out before you, and you can simply point and click any slide you want to display.
3) Any icon or cursor can be selected for the projector display's mouse cursor. Possible
uses include a hand to point out key phrases in Bible verses, or a bouncing ball for song
lyrics. (Animated icons not supported.)
4) Powerful formatting options for song printouts and copying a song to the clipboard for
pasting into other applications.You can select just what components you want, in what
order, and whether you want the label, the full text, or both. Settings can be saved
individually for each song.
5) In the "Visual Preferences", you can now select "Use Windows default
colors" so Worship Him! will use your Windows desktop color scheme.
