New Text Editor

The Text Editor has been completely re-written for Version 2.4. It incorporates many new features and improves many of the features of the previous Text Editor.

• Stand-Alone Application: To give you even more flexibility, the Text Editor can be run both from within SundayPlus and as a stand-alone application. That means that you don't even have to run SundayPlus to use the Text Editor!
  
  
• Spell Check: The Text Editor now includes a built-in spell checker. You can check either the current page or the whole document. Bible words are included as well as a user dictionary for storing your own words.
  
  
• WYSIWYG Font Menu: The pull-down menu for selecting fonts now displays the name of the font in its typeface for easier selection.

• QuickWords: In addition to designating text as a Song or Text file, you can now also choose how you'd like the text to act when it is in your CueList by designating it as QuickWords. Selecting a Cue containing text can either wait for the operator to choose a particular page (Text or Song) or go immediately to the screen (QuickWords).
  When a QuickWords file is selected in the CueList, the designated QuickWords page is immediately sent to the congregation screen. This page is designated by setting a Hot-Key with the letter "Z" in the Text Editor. If there is no "Z" Hot-Key, the first page of the file is sent to the screen. The text then "rips" and from then on the file acts like any other Text or Song file. This lets one page, chosen during text editing, to be sent quickly to the screen, yet adds the flexibility to select any page within the text document after that.
  
  
• Quick Set Text Preferences: SundayPlus stores text preferences for font, size, color, justification, alignment, margin settings and drop shadow. When a new, untitled, file is opened or unformatted text (.txt) is loaded into SundayPlus, the default text settings are used. To change your default text settings, open the Text Editor, format the text as desired, and select Format > Set Defaults...
  
  
• New Bible Search: The new Bible Search dialog finds and displays Bible text faster. It has a "trim" function to remove the Scripture Reference and Translation entries.
  
  
• Better Keyboard Control: Windows keyboard commands such as "Home", "End", "Page Up", "Page Down", and selection by keyboard now work in the Text Editor. Many of the shortcut keys that are standard in Microsoft Word (such as Ctrl + [ and Ctrl + ] to change the font size by one point) also function in the Text Editor. For a complete list of shortcut keys see Hot-Keys: Text Editor.
  
  
• Font Sizes Comparable to MS Word: Font size numbers in SundayPlus now match those from Microsoft Word. Old PTF files will automatically adjust their numbers without changing size.
  
  
• Finer Margin Settings: Margin resolution is now 4 pixels.
  
  
• Color Matching Dropper Tool: Holding down the mouse and dragging off the Font Color button causes a color selection "eye dropper" tool to appear. Drag this tool to anywhere on the screen to pick up a color by releasing the mouse.
  
  
• Drag and Drop from other applications to the Text Editor: You can drag text from Microsoft Word, Internet Explorer, or any other application that allows selection and dragging of text. If you drop the text into SundayPlus' Text Editor, it will retain its original formatting.
  
  
• Text is instantly available for sending to the screen: You can send text to the screen immediately. This is great for instant access to Bible imports.
  
  
• Editor launches from Text Over Video (right-click): You can now launch the Text Editor by right-clicking in ripped text when you have a movie as a background, just like you can with text over an image.
