• Creating Presentation Templates for Church Presenter is easy, Church Presenter utilizes two custom Slide Master layouts ("Stanza Layout" and "Refrain Layout") in order to insert the Hymn fields (Hymn Number, Hymn Title, Stanza, Refrain, Stanza Number, Hymn Topic) into appropriate text areas. It sounds more complicated than it is, so to get a quick start on how to create Presentation Templates just watch the video on the right. To learn more about the Hymn fields and required PowerPoint presentation structure, navigate to the settings tab and click on the "What is This?" link in your copy of ChurchPresenter.
