Proclaim slide help - different colour and size text
Hi, I'm trying to create a slide in proclaim.
I want something like this.
<slide begin>
Tahoma 36, white: Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church.
Tahoma 44, yellow, BOLD: Thanks be to God
</slide end>
But I can't figure out how to do this.
Is this possible in proclaim?
Thanks, Dion

Yes this is Possible. First you will have to create a Content Service Item. Then you will have to delete the Main Text field (since you cannot have different font formatting in a single text field) and create two custom text fields.
Now just change the text in each custom text field to your liking.

Spencer thanks so much for your quick prompt reply with the photo of the work-around. Unfortunately I don't think that's going to work for me, as the layout is just too clunky, when comes to the liturgy we have to enter. Do you know of any way to contact the developers so I could suggest a feature request?

Consider using the Emphasis Text feature for liturgical readings.

The developers (myself included) participate in the forums so we'd love to hear your feedback.

@Scott thanks so much for your help.
The emphasis-text option's colours are just too similar, so they look ascetically pleasing, but older people wont be able to distinguish the difference.
Is there a way of chaning the emphasis colours from the standard palate I'm given?
I've tried importing powerpoint slides (which would be an exceptable if ugly solution) but the powerpoint import doesn't work.
A slide that says:
Bless the Lord, Oh my Soul
imports as:
Bless the Lord, Oh my
with the word Soul missing
and the rest of the slides are similarly corrupted.
In another song:
Be still and know that I am God
imports as:
Be still and kn
Now the corrupt import of songs isn't the end, as I'm assuming we can use SongSelect or similar. But not being able to enter liturgy with a bidding and a response looking quite different is a deal breaker. My preference would be to re-enter them, with a second option being importing powerpoint slides. But it doesn't appear to me that Proclaim has any solution to this?
In ProPresenter 5 I can both enter slides manually, or import PowerPoint slides. So might it be that ProPresenter is my only option?
Thanks, Dion

This is a known existing open issue (slides cut off) with the third party software we include for importing PowerPoint. The current best work around for this is to use PowerPoint to export the slides as images into a folder, then you add the images as an image slide show.
Also, you may be able to 'run' the PowerPoint from within Proclaim as a WebPage - Read this post for ideas.
