Words of Worship is an old, but still-used piece of software that supports multiple outputs, so you can (for instance) have text rendered full-screen on one output for the "house" displays and only show two lines at a time on another for a live-stream output (or whatever). Its underlying data model was designed to facilitate this, so there's no concept of "slides" - output is all dynamically generated.
@Ken - what you're describing in your final paragraph sounds very much like the "stage view" or "stage display" of a number of pieces of software (including OpenLP).
