Go to the Edit Menu and choose “Select All”. Now click on the Font Color palette and choose the top right yellow color chip. Select “Apply”. Click on the Font Size at the top of the screen and select 60 points. Now click on the Font Name at the upper right of the Screen and select “Arial”. Finally, click on the Left Justify button. Now we’ll make the Scripture Reference stand out a bit. Left click in front of it and press return to make it a different paragraph. Select it by dragging across the text of “John 3:16 KJV”. Now select a red color for the font, right justified, choose Opus for the font with 40 points as the size and Bold.

Another way to make text stand out from the background is with a Drop Shadow. It’s button is the one with the letter “S” and a color swatch on it to show the current shadow color. Click the button now, and select lower right for position (this deselects “No Shadow”. Make sure “Color & Transparency are set for solid black; if not, left click in the color swatch to set it. Set the Offset to 4 pixels in both Horizontal and Vertical directions. Click “Set Shadow”.

We’re nearly done with our first text file. We just want to center it properly on the page. Drag the small triangles in the rulers to set the margins as follows Left = 1”; Right = 9”; Top = 2”. The bottom has no margin. Margins are a global setting for this file. In other words, when you set a margin, it affects the whole Song or Text file. To let SundayPlus know we want another page at the insertion point, a page break can be inserted using the Page Break button.

Select File: Save and use the name “John 14_6”. Now press “Save”. Note: You cannot use punctuation in a Windows file name and get predictable results, so a good habit for scripture files is to replace the colon with an underscore. You’ll see your file name at the top of the screen now with a .ptf file extension. There are three ways to exit the Text Editor. Click the close box in the upper right corner, Click the Exclamation Point button to return to SundayPlus, or select File: Quit.

Editing an Existing Text File
Now we’ll take an existing file and format it inside the Text Editor and Save it in PTF format. In the Text Bin, right-click on a file and select “Edit”. Make changes as needed.

Making a Song File
If you were typing in a song (or editing an existing one), you can change the Bin and CueList icon for the file by clicking on the button above the text area in the Text Editor. It will toggle (switch back and forth) between the Text icon and the Song icon. The one showing when you save the file is the one that will be seen in the Bin and CueList.



There are lots of other functions in the Text Editor. Please see the Help File within SundayPlus or the Field Guide for complete information.

Editing the CueList
If it looks like we replicated too many backgrounds, you can remove some. Right click on unwanted Cue and select “Remove”. Now you have an empty spot. That’s OK, because SundayPlus will skip it and just go to the next one automatically. If you want to get rid of the space, right click on the empty space and select “Remove”. It gets rid of the hole. If you wanted to eliminate all the holes in a CueList, right click anywhere in the CueList and select “Snug”.
