You can prevent this by setting a custom background color in MS Word. Alternatively you can change the background and text color in Power Prompter after importing your Word document.<\/li>\n<li>Power Prompter will overwrite custom text alignment settings. If you set a paragraph to be centered and another one to be left aligned then Power Prompter will overwrite both settings with its default (usually center). This is because Power Prompter doesn&#8217;t support text alignment on a per paragraph basis. While working in MS Word simply disregard any text alignment changes. You can set them later individually for each teleprompter window in Power Prompter.<\/li>\n<li>While the support for MS Word files is pretty stable we can&#8217;t guarantee that more complex documents will be displayed properly. This includes embedded spreadsheets, movies, images, etc. Don&#8217;t go overboard with advanced MS Word functionality as Power Prompter is optimized for straight forward text documents. Adding anything &#8220;fancy&#8221; will most likely break your script or lead to performance issues. It&#8217;s best you limit the styling to italic\/bold\/underline and different text colors.<\/li>\n<p>The update is available now via the Mac App Store or via our direct update functionality in Power Prompter! <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i><a href=\"\/powerprompter\/\">Power Prompter<\/a> is a modern teleprompter application for the Mac.
