Powerpoint Conversion to EasyWorship - Various Methods from EasyWorship Forum



Posted: 07 Jul 2007 02:47 Post subject:

You can convert multiple PPT presentations into txt files using
a program from here:
http://www.softinterface.com/DL/DL_UserData_Proc.asp or here http://www.convertzone.com/ppt2txt/help.htm

Then, you can download the conversion tool here:
and convert the txt files to EasyWorship by using the CCLI converter.

I wouldn't bother converting the songs from PowerPoint because they will still have to be extensively edited to put the CCLI and copyright info in the right place as well as edit in the Verse, chorus, Intro, Bridge and End headers.

Use SongSelect instead (from snapshot 2) and it will bring in the song ready to use. You will only need to add the songs as you need them and it won't be long until you find that the common ones are already available.

With our previous piece of software we could export all our songs into a text file so that our worship leader could take them home for use in preparing worship.

I cannot see that facility here. Is there a way of doing it from the song database file - or any other method?

The songs are stored in a database. You can open it with Word or Access and you should be able to use the "Words" field to get the words out. These are stored in RichText format.

Save them in an EasyWorship schedule and then open that schedule on the destination computer. It will prompt you to have them added at which time you can just select Yes or OK to add them.

Hi Jeff,

Can you elaborate a little on the above please. i.e. Which versions of Word or Access are needed. Also which is the actual file which contains the words (Choice of Songs.DB, Songs.MB, Songs.PX, Songs.TV, Songs.XG0 etc...). Do I just open as a Word document or is something else needed - plug ins etc.

Thanks

The file to open is song.db but you will need all the files for it work. In Access you can link to the file. Once you do that, you can view the fields within the database.

Open Access, create a new Access database, then select Tables in the Database view, right click and select Link Tables and then select the Songs.DB file.

We have two computers that are used in different parts of our building. How can I get the database from one computer copied to the other one? I really don't want to start retyping them all!

Thanks!

You could copy your data directory to a CD and then replace the Data directory on the destination computer for a complete transfer. This will replace any songs already on the destination computer.

Or you could copy just the songs you want to update on the destination computer into a schedule and then open the schedule on the destination computer for EasyWorship to automatically add the new songs.

What files do I need to copy and what is the file path? I want to be sure they are readily available and I get it all the first time! Thanks a bunch!

The files are typically stored at \Program Files\Softouch\EasyWorship\Data. You need the entire folder more or less and you will want to totally replace the data directory on the destination computer. I recommend renaming the data directory on the destination to something like data backup or something.

Can you explain in a little more detail as to how to get the words of the songs from excel?
I need to print them out.
Thanks!
