I figured it was normal, until I copied and pasted into WordPerfect at the hotel computer, and it was ready to print.

Is there a setting or something?

Change the font to Courier New...I copy/paste tabs quite often, and that always fixes the problem.

Don't ever go to tab sites. Figure the songs out for yourself and you'll learn to be a better player. Besides, a "friend" told me that those tab sites are breeding grounds for spyware. :wink:

Bah, I just go to a few, FretPlay and 911Tabs and whatever 911tabs take me to, and the spyware detector doesn't find anything.

I would still be stuck figuring out an E chord if it wasn't for tabs. I am learning E Blues, I can feel the power, I'm becoming a better play. :twisted:

FCTE, what are the margins on your WordPerfect?

I use Open Office.

It's open office writer with 1 inch margins by default.
