Slight addition to a Bible Item

Would it be possible to add a field in the lower right corner of each slide that contained the current slide of how many slides like 1/5, 2/5,...5/5?. Sometimes the person who is leading the scripture reading forgets or doesn't know how many slides are to be read. I tried adding a custom text box, but I couldn't get it to work the way I wanted it to, it added the same text to very slide.

Thanks

Hey Brendon, not a bad idea! I'd imagine that if we were to implement this it would apply to Bible and song items. Are you accustomed to using software that provides this feature?

No, my previous software was PowerPoint, and I manually placed a right pointing arrow from the shapes menu on all slides except the last one.

You could try something like this?

After I added the verse, I ran through and pasted/updated each number

Interesting. In this case I'd recommend using a guillemet » at the end of the verse:

How's that look? Alternately, you could replace the guillemet with (1/4) in that spot.

I'm sure one of these solutions will satisfy the situation. Thanks for the ideas, just needed some fresh eyes.

I'd recommend using a guillemet » at the end of the verse:

I shall use this and would appreciate it being an option on the display settings right above 'use no transitions' and under 'start background music on second slide'.

Although the second control would do just as well on the Audio Control.

For this morning's service I tried using a guillemet » at the end of the verse on the bible items. The concept worked in practice, but every time I added it to the end of the verse, the formatting was changed for the next verse, and sometimes I couldn't get the formatting back the way it was. Especially the hanging indents. We use HCSB, fully formatted. However, using block paragraphs and one verse per slide works OK except when the last line of the verse fills the entire line. In which case, the guillemet is on the next line all the way to the left and I can't slide it over. It really would be better to have a separate text box under the major text box lined up with the right edge.
