Searching for Songs and Bibles
Presentation Manager has a powerful search function so Songs and
Bible Verses can be located quickly.
Locate a Song or Bible Verse
When you click on the Song or Bible tab in the palette the search box
appears.
As you type the name of a song (or a book of the Bible) into the search
box it will automatically be found for you.
For Bible verses you do not need the
entire reference.
- Type "De 28 2" to locate Deuteronomy 28:2
the number of verses displayed depends on the template slide.
- Type "De 8 3-9" to locate and display Deuteronomy 8:3-9
the number of verses displayed now is independent of the selected template slide.
- Type "De 8 3-" to locate and display Deuteronomy 8:3- thro to end if room permits
Searching for a Word or Phrase
You can also do a search
for a word or phrase. Presentation Manager will search through
all of the songs and Bible verses in the selected database for that
word or phrase.
Type the word or phrase you want to search for in the search box and
hit the search button. Every song or Bible verse with that word
or phrase will be listed.
Search by Song Attributes
Presentation Manager can also search for special attributes that
are associated with a Song. For example, if you have the key
marked out in the attributes for your songs, then you can search for
all the songs in a certain key. Click

To bookmark a Bible passage
To create a bookmark which will take you to the Book, Chapter and verse without displaying it the book and chapter and search. It then is available in the search drop down. This is useful if the Pastor likes to use multiple Bible Passages during his sermons. Normally these are given so they can be added to playlist. But having it bookmarked allows going to un-preped verses
