    First, I absolutely love the new 2.0 version of LSB. Fantastic! Easier to use, the dreaded text boxes have disappeared, and all-in-all, a much more intuitive program. Thanks!!!

    When copying from LSBuilder to Word, is there a way to group all of the lines of a hymn (with its music) so that all of the lines can be adjusted at the same time, without having to do it line-by-line?

    Thanks,
    Pr. Jonathan Meyer

    Pastor Meyer,
    If I understand your question correctly this may help:
    In LSB before you save your service as a word file, click the layout button at the top right of the tool bar. In the window that comes up you can change the scale of the music. Either by 1) clicking the box that says "right" and changing the size or you can 2) automatically scale the music to page width. Depending on what you are trying to do one of these may be able to help you.
    Unfortunately Word doesn't allow you to select and resize more than one image at a time.
    I hope this helps!
    Blessings,
    Ryan K.

    That answers the question - it can't be done in Word! It wasn't an end-of-world complaint; just trying to figure out a way to save a little time and make sure all are the same. I'll do what you suggested.
    Thanks for the help!

    Actually, Word can adjust all of your music lines at once, but you'll need to use a Word Macro to make it happen. A Word macro can easily find all of the music lines and adjust their size in a proportional manner. I have a macro that does just that for each of my services.

    I guess the point is that if you have some Word Macro experience, you can achieve the time-savings you are looking for.
