Proclaim: Ignores font sizes I choose

In Proclaim, in songs and Bible verses, no matter what size I set the font to, it shrinks the text to fit on one slide. Eventually it will bump some of the text to another slide, but I don't know what determines where that cut is made.

WHY IS THERE NO OPTION TO FORCE PROCLAIM TO USE THE FONT SIZE I CHOOSE?!?!

Every week for years I have had to go in and manually break up the Bible verses so that the words are the size I want. If I don't, the verses sizes are all over the place. There is no visual consistency. One passage is ok to read, the next is tiny. All I'd like is just one more radio button next to "Fully formatted," "One verse per slide," and "Block paragraphs" that forces Proclaim to use the font size I've chosen. Otherwise, why do they even let us choose the font size?

The same is true of songs only worse. The font size will vary between lines on the same slide. It looks terrible and makes one line readable and the next line far too small. I cannot understand the logic of it all. It drives me crazy.

This one option would free up dozens of hours of my life each year. Please, I'm begging you (whoever you are that makes these decisions). Please!

Thanks,

Anthony Bliss

So you just show up to make fun of other people’s comments?

Huh?

Sorry. I misunderstood. I’m an idiot.

I don't think there is an existing solution for your problem. For songs, I would certainly not want it, since the slide breaks we use for slides are deliberate. On Scriptures, I understand your complaint. I just use "one verse per slide," and manually delete the slide break when I occasionally want to show two verses simultaneously.

I'm not saying it needs to be the default. I just want the option. Because I would use it for songs and Bible verses. Sometimes Proclaim shrinks lyrics and verses to be unreadable to people in the back of the room.
