(If your church does not use video in worship, start with a previous post, Got Video?) Conversely, poor slide production and operation of the lyric display can greatly hamper worship. Wide aspect ratios will help you get those longer lyric sentences onto one line, and help avoid having Proclaim scale down your presentations.Displaying song lyrics in worship with excellence is an often overlooked area of preparation, yet one that can really enhance our worship times.
So it basically comes down to getting a wider projection screen, and maybe repositioning your projector.
Your computer will already do it- choice of aspect ratio is listed on the top line of the Proclaim workspace, and your projector will as well. As soon as you are able, begin switching your systems over to widescreen format (16X9 at least). You will still have to limit the length of your lines so that Proclaim won't shrink the font, but it's a pretty good place to start. Then you can recall it anytime you add a song. You can also customize your own style, which can include font size, alignment, drop shadows, outlines, etc. My solution has been to create a customized "style." When editing your lyrics, you'll notice a drop-down menu next to "effects" labeled "styles." Under the drop-down menu you'll see a number of pre-programed styles that can be applied to your lyrics. I do, however, have a workaround for those of you wanting consistency with your fonts between slides and songs. However, after two years of using Proclaim, I am even happier that I have NEVER lost material due to a system crash, and am more than willing to face whatever simplifications may continue to make avoiding system crashes possible. I too, was a MediaShout convert and used to picking whatever font I wanted and especially enjoyed adding italicized or bold words whenever I fancied. I know this is an old thread, but there doesn't seem to be a very good resolution listed for the perceived problems.
