An update Zionworx and OpenLP have a similar problem, like most software, the documentation is mostly done by the developers, which means it misses a lot of the stuff that new users find the most helpful. Really software manuals should be written by English Lit. Majors, who have no idea what a computer is other then an 8 letter word, so that the developer needs to sit down with them and explain every little detail. I spent over 20 years in the computer business, so I have seen both sides of this.
OpenLP is more intuitive, I can load the bibles we use most often into the program and just drag and drop. I will need to dump/restore the database across computers. What I want to eventually do, is get the pastor (easier then you think, I am married to her), to use the program, because then she can design the order of service in the program, and print it to a PDF and then just email that to those who need it. Unfortunately I need to get the 800 and change entries in the hymn book into the database first
I have a bunch in powerpoint so I can just copy those over.
Easyslides, uses .Net and I am not a fan of .Net, if Powerpoint is an 800lb Gorilla, .Net is his 8000lb brother....
