StageTitles can import a plain text file in two ways: automatically using the settings in Import & Export Preferences or in a visual way with the Import window. In the Import window you define a slide separator and line separator in the source text file on the left. On the right, you can see a live update of how the slides will be imported.

A StageTitles document window has 8 distinct areas.
A configurable toolbar to quickly access most used functions of StageTitles.

Options Window
The Options window is a very important place to configure the way the StageTitles document will be shown in the Projector, how slides will advance, and other special features.
Projector on Top
SplitScreen feature with the Projector showing above the document window on the same display. The menubar is moved in between the Projector and the document window.
Projector at Bottom
SplitScreen feature with the Projector showing beneath the document window on the same display.
Fullscreen Projector
Projector shown in fullscreen mode on the main or other display. You have full control over the size and position of the text.
Transparent Projector video overlay
Projector with transparent background option selected. Use it to show subtitles on top of another application, playing a movie or presenting other kinds of information.
Commander
The Projector Commander is shown over the Message Bar when the Projector is active. It contains all buttons necessary to "navigate" the Projector. Every button has a key-equivalent so you can use the keyboard in case your Projector setup does not show the document window with the Commander. Set the Commander background to gray or more striking red in the Preferences.
