Also, if you are simply exporting slides into Powerpoint, why not simply use Powerpoint as your projection manager and type up your songs as .ppt files, then atleast you could make full use of powerpoints features (such as full text search)...
OpenSong is used instead of Powerpoint because it is better at the task than Powerpoint. You would simply replace one problem with another.

The exporting .jpg files idea above might be useful in a number of situations. However if used in the manner suggested with powerpoint, it would remove available features such as hiding the text, and presentation hot-keys.

I recently played with openlp (http://openlp.org). I have chosen to keep using OpenSong, for presentation features such as White-out, output freezing and text hiding.
