|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||

||||
a couple of ways. You can double-click on each item you need displayed or, click
|

each slide in the top Live window, use the left and right arrows under the top
|
