Yes, the formatting is not picked up when the text is extracted so you have to a bit of fixing there - it's not just you :). You could try copying and pasting but you can only do that one song at a time, not with the bulk import.
You will soon get used to using PM. Once your songs are in it is easy to add the odd new one.

Hi, Thanks Brenda. I will try and give this a go with Soul Survivor although I tried quickly last night and got well confused, not difficult actually ! I was hoping to be able to upload from ss straight into pm but I couldn't get it to work. The chord sheets are all sqidged up and, well it is just me !!! I will email with shop details later on too. Many thanks, oh everyone at Worship practice last night were very excited, mind you they think I know how to use it i think !!! oops..
You can import a pdf with multiple songs, like the Soul Survivor songbook, into Power Music.
Either use the last option on the Start-up Quick Links or go to File > Import pdf/create songs. When you open the pdf (it may take a while with a large file) you can select the pages of the song you want to import, give it a title and click Add Song. Check the 'Extract text' box if it is in chord sheet format and you want to be able to transpose it.
Do this for each song you want to import.
You can post this question on the forum if you want and then others can see the answer.
You will need the latest version for the 'extract text' option - version 2.0.1.1.
I think it was a previous version that was on the CD if you got it at Mission Worship.
As regards screens, we are almost at the stage of being able to supply monitor stands at a good price. There will be a newsletter going out in the next couple of weeks about this, so look out for it.
If you want to send details of the local music shop I will contact them. Email me at bcam@cambron.co.uk.
