+Creating a service
+==================
+
+Now that you have OpenLP set up the way you want, it is time to put it to use.
+
+Everything you need to display will be in the left panel called *Media Manager*
+under their respective categories. Using the media manager you will load new 
+Media, Songs, Images, Bibles, or create a Custom slide as discussed earlier under
+`Adding Media Content <http://manual.openlp.org/mediamanager.html#adding-media-content>`_. 
+
+On the right side of your screen at the top is Service Manager. Anything you 
+want to display should be in the Service Manager and preferably in the order you 
+want to display it. To add your media you can click on the item, hold and drag 
+your selection from the Media Manager over to the Service Manager or, after 
+clicking the media or verse you want to use, click the + sign above. This will 
+add your media to the service side at the bottom. Once it is in the Service 
+Manager you can click on your item and drag and drop it in the order you want or, 
+click the item and use the arrows below to move it up or down in the order you 
+want. 
+
+Displaying an Item
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When you have all of your items needed for the service in your Service Manager
+there are a few ways to get them to display on the screen. You can double-click
+the item, click it once with the mouse and push the Enter key on your keyboard 
+or, click it once with the mouse and click on the projector at the bottom of the 
+Service Manager. Any of these methods will display your item on the screen. When
+your item is displayed, it will appear in the Live windows just to the left of 
+the Service Manager.
+
+Moving through a Service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Once you have your first item displayed live you can move through the service in 
+a couple of ways. You can double-click on each item you need displayed or, click 
+it once and press enter. If your songs, verses, etc. are in the order you will 
+be displaying them, you can use the Right Arrow key on your keyboard to move 
+down through your service. Pressing the Left Arrow key will move up through the 
+service. Every time you press the Left or Right Arrow key the next item will be 
+displayed. 
+
+Moving through a Song or Bible verses
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+When you display a song or Bible verse with multiple verses you will need to 
+move through them. When a song or verse is being displayed you will see the 
+lyrics at the top in the Live window and how it actually appears on your display 
+in the bottom Live window. To change slides you can use your mouse to click on 
+each slide in the top Live window, use the left and right arrows under the top 
+Live window or, use the Down Arrow to move down through the song or verses. 
+Using the Up Arrow will move you from bottom to top. Page Up and Page Down will 
+do the same thing. 
+
+Adding a group of Images
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+At some point you may have a group of images to display together. It may be 
+pictures from a youth group adventure, bulletin announcements, or some other 
+reason. Once you add your images to the Media Manager hold the Ctrl key on your 
+keyboard and click each image you want to add as group. As you click the images 
+they will remain highlighted. When you are done with your selections you can 
+either click the + sign above the images or, click on one of the highlighted 
+images, hold the mouse button and drag them over to the Service Manager side and 
+place them where you need them. If you do not like the order the images are in, 
+right click Images and left click Reorder Item. From this box you will be able 
+to rearrange the order of your images by clicking on one and using the up and 
+down arrows to move it to where you want it. If there is an image you do not 
+want in your order, click on it and then click the :guilabel:`Delete` button. 
+When you are done arranging your images click :guilabel:`Save`. If you need to 
+add another image from the Media Manager to your group of images, left click the 
+image you want to add and hold the mouse button and drag it over your group of 
+Images and release the mouse button. You will be given two options, 
+:guilabel:`Add New Item` and :guilabel:`Add to Selected Item`. If you click 
+:guilabel:`Add New Item` your image will be separate from your group of images 
+as another item. If you click :guilabel:`Add to Selected Item` your image will 
+be added to your group of images.
+
+Using the Continuous Loop Timer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Once you have a group of images you can easily cycle through them by using the 
+Live Controller Bar timer in between the Live panes. Adjust the time delay for 
+the seconds in between each image by adjusting the second timer. Just to the 
+left of the second timer is the button to start the images looping. Click it 
+once to start the continuous loop and once to stop it. You can also use the 
+keyboard shortcut "L" to start and stop the continuous loop. The timer will also 
+cycle through Bible verses or song lyrics. 
+
+Using the "Blank to" Control
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+On the live controller bar in between the live windows are three options to 
+Blank your screen. Clicking on the down arrow next to the blank button will show 
+you your three options.
+
+`Blank Screen` Choosing this option will blank your projector to black like it 
+was shut off. The shortcut for this option is "." (period on your keyboard 
+without quotations).
+
+`Blank to Theme` Choosing this option will show your blank theme only without 
+lyrics or verses. If you are blanking a song with an assigned theme it will blank 
+to that theme. If no theme is assigned or you are blanking a presentation or 
+image, it will blank to the global theme. The shortcut for this option is "T" 
+(without quotations).
+
+`Blank to Desktop` Choosing this option will show your desktop wallpaper or a 
+program that you have open on the extended monitor or projector. You can 
+seemlessly switch between one program and OpenLP by Blank to Desktop. The 
+shortcut for this option is "D" (without quotations).
+
+Saving your service
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Now that you created your service, tested it and are ready for your worship 
+service, you will want to save your service file. OpenLP will remind you to do 
+this when you close the program or you can click the save button at the top of 
+your service file. Choose the location you want to save your file and click 
+:guilabel:`Ok`.
