Bible Documents

The Bible window is designed to make it easy for you to find verses on the fly in the least amount of time possible. You can quickly search for verses through several different look-up methods, and begin displaying those slides moments later.

Once you have found the passage that you want to use, click on the action menu in the lower-left corner and choose either Save as Document or Copy to Current Document. The Save as Document option will create a new presentation in your Library with the title of the passage. The Copy to Current Document option will add the passage to the document that is currently selected in the library or a playlist. This option makes it much easier for you to prepare a single presentation for a sermon.

You can easily add the previous or next verse to a passage by clicking on the Previous Verse or Next Verse buttons. These two buttons are available in the Bible window as well as on Bible presentations in the Library.

ProPresenter 6 allows you to use a single format for your verse and reference, or create two unique styles for the verse and references. All of this is done through the use of Templates.

To create a new Bible template that supports individual styles for the reference and verse text, click on the Template button then choose Create New Template. This will open the Template Editor, which is similar to the standard Editor.

Once the editor is open, add two text boxes to the slide and format the text how you want each part to look. For the example below, each text box has had a line added around the box to make it easier to see the two boxes.

After you have created your two text boxes, the next step is to name the two boxes so that ProPresenter knows how to use this template in the Bible window. To name each box, select the Object Properties tab on the right, select one of the text boxes, then choose either Bible Text or Bible Reference from the Name menu.
