Go with mekidsmom's advice regarding Chordpro.  That will give you the lyrics and chords without the table, which is what's causing your problems.

The only problem you may come across is when you transpose a song in regular Chordie view, the Chordpro version will still be in the original key.  To solve this problem, cut and paste the song into the window on this site link removed which is an automatic transposer.  Then, after going through the motions to transpose the song, cut and paste the final version into MS Word.

OK, I just realized that I left a very important piece of information out of my "complaint."  This is something that even I forgot was part of the process.

When I find a song that I want to print, the first thing I do is highlight the entire song, cut it, and paste it into a blank MS Word document.  This gives me the flexibility to change the font size, make corrections to the chord changes, etc.  However, it ALSO creates those tables that are such a pain in the butt.

Try one now and you'll see what I mean.

So, somewhere in the Chordie formatting must be a table, even though it is invisible when you view a tab within the Chordie website.  My mission, then, is to figure out how to copy the lyrics and the chord changes without copying the whole table.

Is this any clearer?  I KNOW I'm not crazy!!!!!!

>>>>Are you speaking of the chord charts when you mention "tables"? These can be located to the right or bottom, or turned off. Please provide a link to specific songs you are having an issue with as I don't understand the problem.<<<<

It's EVERY song on Chordie.  When you print any song, it prints as a table, with chords above the lyrics.  By "table," I mean a series of rows and columns that are designed to keep the chords and lyrics properly aligned.  You don't see the table when you open the song and view it on Chordie.  It only comes up when you print.

The problem is, I like to tweak the changes a bit, change the font size, etc before printing.  This means I have to completely de-construct the table and recreate the song on a fresh page.  It's not the end of the world, but it's a bit of a pain.

Hmmm, I'm wondering if I can solve this by going into the mode that lets you "correct" songs.  Perhaps the format is different there.  Let me try that!

I think I figured out the problem.  The alternate diagrams I'm seeing are for guitar.  My preferences are set to ukulele.  Perhaps you don't provide alternate fingering for the uke?

I can't remember if the diagrams I used to see were for guitar or ukulele.

For me, none of the diagrams on any of the charts are working.  I am clicking on the diagrams to the right of the charts.  I think it may be a setting on my Internet Explorer, although I am set to show all graphics.  Hmm.  I don't know...
