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.

Additional Photo Ops features

• Stand-Alone Application: To give you even more flexibility, Photo Ops 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 Photo Ops!

• Border: The Border filter adds a border to the picture. You can choose either a plain color or a pattern of two colors. You also choose how wide the border is in pixels.
  
   
• Shader: The Shader allows the user to draw a colored box, with transparency control, onto the picture with soft or hard edges.
  
   
• Image Resolution: You can adjust the size/resolution of the image by choosing "Image Resolution" from the Edit menu.

• Batch Treatments: Photo Ops also has the ability to record all Filters and Transforms as they are applied (including Image Resolution). These actions, called Treatments, can then be saved and applied to any other image. To apply a Treatment to more than one image at a time, you can use the Batch Treatment feature. Treatments can also be exported and imported. This is useful if you create one or more Treatments on one computer, and would like to use them on another computer. It's also handy if you'd like to share some of your Treatments with other SundayPlus users.

Miscellaneous Program Enhancements

 

• Windows Help System: This new Help System is indexed and searchable, providing a full reference of every function and button in SundayPlus in a familiar and easy to use system. The previous Guided Tour based help file is also available from the Help menu by selecting "Tutorial".

• Windows Dialog Boxes: Dialog boxes are now the familiar Windows dialog boxes.

• Hide Congregation Screen (Ctrl-3): In addition to the Congregation Screen positioning Hot-Keys Ctrl-1 (size and center on Screen 1; computer monitor), Ctrl-2 (size and center on Screen 2; projector), and Ctrl-0 (zero) (size small in lower-right of computer monitor), pressing Ctrl-3 will hide the Congregation Screen. Press one of the other Congregation Screen positioning Hot-Keys to show it again.
  
   
• Launch Text Editor and Photo Ops from the Tools Menu: There are now selections on the Tools Menu that open the Text Editor and Photo Ops.
  
   
• Nursery Call over Movies and PowerPoint: The Nursery Call is now visible over Movies and PowerPoint presentations.
  
   
• Updated Icon for PowerPoint Cues: A new icon on PowerPoint Cues more easily identifies them.
