Worship Him and PowerPoint:

     Using PowerPoint presentations and slideshows in your worship service is easier than ever now with Worship Him's PowerPoint features. Even if you don't have PowerPoint installed, the free PowerPoint viewer from Microsoft can be used to launch  presentations or slideshows.


You can insert PowerPoint presentations right into your cue lists for easy access, and even import them into Worship Him for the same kind of dynamic point-and click display Worship Him gives you with songs. (Import requires PowerPoint97 or higher.) Just point and click on a slide to project it. For more details, see 'Imported PowerPoint presentations' below.


You can also launch PowerPoint presentations on the fly. Again, you will be given the option of importing the presentation (if PowerPoint is installed), launching it in the projector's display, or launching it in the primary display.


Launching PowerPoint shows in the projector's display: No more switching to the primary monitor for PowerPoint slideshows! Worship Him can launch them directly into the secondary display, even with older versions of PowerPoint. Note: This option will only work properly if you save your presentation as a 'PowerPoint show' (*.pps) so your presentation will begin automatically when it is launched from Worship Him.

Imported PowerPoint presentations:

     Imported presentations and slideshows can be presented in dynamic fashion without the fumbling of shuffling around to find the slide you want. Your slides are spread out before you and all you have to do is click on a slide to show it. If there are more slides than can fit on the screen, just use the scrollbar on the right hand side to scroll through them, or click the 'Zoom -' button to see more slides per screen. You initially start with 3 rows of 3 slides each, but you can zoom out until all the slides are visible on one screen if you wish.

How it works:
When a Presentation is imported, Worship Him calls on PowerPoint to create .jpg images of all the slides in the presentation. These images are stored in the Shared documents\Worship Him!\temp\ folder. Then, the images are loaded into Worship Him for easy selection and display. Once the imported presentation window is closed, the temporary .jpg images are deleted.
