ProPresenter 6 Tutorial: Working with Text
To get lyrics and sermon notes into ProPresenter, you don’t have to type them in, there are better ways.
[tweet “If you’re new to ProPresenter 6, here’s how to create songs & sermon notes without typing them in:”]My favorite is to import a text file. You can decide where the slide break should occur and choose either line break or paragraph break, and how many of those you want per slide.
If you don’t have a text file, but you can copy the text (as in “cut, copy, and paste”), you can import the text from the clipboard.
If it’s a song, song select is an option, too. This might help out especially if you’re planning on singing a Christian song with an ambiguous title which might bring up the wrong song in a Google search.

I’d do it in textedit or notepad because Word adds invisible characters that sometimes cause issues. Save it as a .txt file and you can import the whole thing directly from the import dialog in propresenter.
