After you finish creating a presentation in Lutheran Service Builder, you can export the presentation to view, format, and print it using Microsoft PowerPoint or another presentation software. Presentations can only be exported as PowerPoint files and MediaShout files. Since Lutheran Service Builder has limited formatting options, exporting a presentation and editing the formatting in a presentation software may be a better experience.
Warning
Opening a PowerPoint file in a different presentation program (LibreOffice, Google Slides, etc.) will result in some formatting being lost. It is recommended that the files be opened in Microsoft PowerPoint only to prevent additional time being spent reformatting the presentation.
- From the calendar view, select the service you would like to export. (If the service is planned and the presentation has been created, skip to step 4.)
- Plan the service and click “Prepare Presentation” in the upper right corner.
- Make any changes you need to finish the presentation.
- Select the Document tab at the top of the view and then click “Export”.
- Select the type of file you would like to export the presentation in.
