Theme Editor


The Theme Editor is similar to the Song and Presentation Editors in that it has slides, an Inspector, and it allows you to add media and text boxes to slides. However, unlike the Song and Presentation Editors, the Theme Editor does not allow you to add or change the default text on the slides. The Theme Editor is designed for making overall formatting and placement changes. You can, however, add other elements like Text boxes, Media and Scripture to the slide.
