[v6 General Discussion] Import Song

Wonder if it would give you grief when you set it to a theme after the import?
does it work copyright information?

In EW6 Build 1.3 import has three choices: RTF, TXT and All. I created an RTF file in Word 2013 (Office 365) and WordPad (Windows 7). Both imported OK. I then created a TXT file in Notepad++. It also imported OK.
Avoid Using Shift-Enter and Ctrl-Enter in external editors (Word, Notepad, etc.) Use blank lines as slide separators (First line becomes slide label.) Two blank lines will create a slide without a label. In following example <e> is Enter key:
Verse 1 <e>
Song Lyrics <e>

Chorus 1 <e>

Last Slide No label <e>

Please provide the version of office you have and if it is 64 bit or 32 bit office.
Please send us one of your files to [email protected] and we'll do some testing.
I have Office 2010 32bit running on Vista 64 bit, this gives the full drop list where if I select Word 2010 the import works but if I select All files it doesn't. I also have Office 365 64 bit running on Windows 7 64bit, this gives a drop list with rtf, txt or all files. It does not allow picking Word only......and the import does not work. The Vista workaround does not work.

Right, discovered something, I had been changing the drop down list to "All Files" and am still getting the Argument Out Of Range error, however if i select "Word 2010", selecting the same file, untouched, it does import.
I've been importing docx and rtf files using the import option in the song editor.
You may need to send an email to [email protected] with a sample of the files you are importing to see if there is something in the files that EasyWorship cannot read.

I know this is not what is described exactly but the ability to export a song from someones home and then import it into the church EW database would solve this for me. Even if it was possible for someone to bring in the song as a Word doc, most people have access to various vintages of Word, and then import the song would help, and this is implied in the Help.
Is anyone else having this problem, is this a feature in progress?
