How do you start a presentation at the current slide?

When you click "On Air", Proclaim always starts at the very beginning of the presentation which is annoying for many reasons. Is there a way for it to just start up on the currently active slide within Proclaim?

And similarly, is there a one button method to switch to a Black Background like OpenLP has?

Shift-F5 should start from the current slide.

I'm not quite sure what you mean - would Quick Screens (in Settings) do what you are looking for?

You can use shift+f5 to go On Air from your current slide. You can also right click on the item in the order of service, and go On Air from there.

As for one button to black.. yes Graham is right, you hit command+b or control+b on Windows to show the blank quick screen which will appear black.

Quick Screens appears to be what Im looking for. I am just unclear how you choose which quick screen you goto. There are so many options that you can place a checkmark next to. What makes it goto "blank" versus "logo" for instance?
