NOTE: IF YOU’RE USING PRO7.5 OR GREATER, CONTROLS LIKE PROPS, MESSAGES, STAGE SCREEN, ETC. ARE NOW LOCATED IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT. THIS CHANGED AFTER I RECORDED THIS TUTORIAL.

ALSO, THIS TUTORIAL IS UNNECESSARY IF YOU’RE USING PRO7.7 OR NEWER. IT DOES WHAT THIS TUTORIAL SHOWS, BY DEFAULT.

Let’s say your pastor wants to highlight a particular word or phrase by bolding it, changing the color, etc.

That’s easy…except there’s a problem. In Pro7.6 or older, the text formatting doesn’t carry over (in 7.7, if you don’t want it to carry over, this trick would work, too).

So, how do you solve this problem?

Copy the text to the notes field in the editor. Make sure you have a theme that has two text boxes, one you should leave as is and add the visibility option with a rule to show it when it has no text (so it doesn’t show the main text). Link the text to the main slide notes and make sure to check the preserve notes formatting check box. Apply that theme to the secondary screen and the formatting should carry over.
