+
+# What Am I?
+
+ProjectOn is an open-source multimedia projection program geared towards
+producing and running church services.
+ 
+
+# Why ProjectOn?
+
+Working in a smaller church, I was limited by a small budget, the small
+number of open-source church projection programs available, and few
+tech-savvy volunteers. ProjectOn seeks to provide an easy to use,
+intuitive, and responsive experience when building and running the
+projection needs of a church service.
+ 
+
+# What's New in Version 1.4.0?
+
+- Global font for Song slides and Bible slides can now be set independently
+from each other.
+- Added a "Shade Behind Text" option to the font menu, allowing for a translucent
+square to be shown behind the text. This can help readability on 'busy' backgrounds.
+- Improved font preview now included in the toolbar font dropdowns.
+- Font dropdowns now disappear when clicking outside of them (no longer
+need to click the font button to make them go away).
+- Added the ability to backup all data to a zip file (found in the 'File' menu)
+- Other minor improvements and bug fixes.
+
+# Installation
+
+Currently, ProjectOn is available for the Microsoft Windows operating
+system only. Download the current ProjectOn installer (v.1.4.0) and run
+it on your computer.
+ 
+
+# Using ProjectOn
+
+This information will get you started, but for more in-depth information
+on using ProjectOn, please click “Help” and “Help Contents” in the menu.
+ 
+
+### Screen Layout
+
+When you first run ProjectOn, you’ll be greeted with a screen split into
+four main areas:
+
+- Order of Service
+
+- Media Storage
+
+- Preview Panel
+
+- Live Panel
+
+The Order of Service area is where you will place the various items to
+show during your service, such as music lyrics, bible verses, and
+images. Drag-and-drop items into this area from the Media Storage area
+or use the Media Storage’s Add to Service buttons. Drag items in the
+Order of Service to rearrange their order.
+
+In the Media Storage area, you will find tabs for the various types of
+media that can be displayed:
+
+- Song Lyrics
+
+- Bible Verses
+
+- Custom Slides
+
+- Images
+
+- Videos
+
+- Web Slides
+
+The Preview Panel shows you the content of what is coming up next in the
+service, while the Live Panel shows you the content of what is currently
+being displayed.
+ 
+
+### Remote Interfaces
+
+The ProjectOn program, while it is running, creates a server that can be
+accessed by any browser on any device connected to the same network or
+access point. This server has three different web pages that can be
+accessed:
+
+- Remote Control
+
+- Mobile-Friendly Remote Control
+
+- Stage View
+
+The Remote Control provides an application that allows you to control
+the service through another device, such as a tablet or smartphone.
+
+The Stage View shows a simplified version of any text that is currently
+being displayed on the projector. This is particularly useful for
+showing lyrics to a Praise Team.
+
+The specific web pages for these can be found by choosing “Help” and
+“About” from the menu.
+ 
+
+### Settings
+
+There are various changes that can be made to how ProjectOn works. By
+clicking on the settings icon, you will see what those changes are:
+
+- CCLI Info
+
+- Screen Settings
+
+- Global Font Settings
+
+- Global Background Settings
+
+If you have an account with CCLI (Christian Copyright Licensing
+International), you can enter your license number(s) here. This will
+ensure that your license number appears on any lyrics shown on the
+projector.
+
+In the Screen Settings you can choose which screen you would like to use
+as your display. By default, the program uses whatever monitor is
+currently set up as your “Primary” monitor and, if a second monitor or
+projector is already connected to the computer, uses that as the
+display.
+
+In the Global Font section, you can change the appearance of the text
+that is being displayed. You’ll find options for the Font Face, Size,
+Shadow, Outline, and Color of the text. Here, too, you can change the
+size of the font that appears on the Stage View.
+
+In the Global Background section you can choose the default background
+for songs and for bible passages. These changes can also be made in the
+toolbar at the top of the main window. Songs and bible verses will
+automatically used these backgrounds, unless you specify a custom
+background to use when editing a song.
+
+Here, too, you can choose a custom “Logo” image to display when nothing
+else is being shown; for example, a graphic with a welcome message.
+ 
+
+### Shortcut Keys

+There are a variety of Shortcut Keys that can be used when using the
+program or navigating a service:
