Topic: Clearing Lyrics Formatting

Hello

When copying a song into a word file, how do you clear the formatting. Trying to change or add lines & words causes lines to disapear. The songs appears to be formatted with gridlines I can't get rid of or clear.

Thanks, MHConst@aol.com

Hi MHConst & welcome to the chordie forum!

Try this - move the song into your songbook.  Then, open the song using the 'edit' button at the end of the songbook's listing.  You will see two panes.  The upper pane will show the 'raw' file in it's un-formatted state. 

Editing can easily be done on this 'raw' file - if you want to copy/paste into Word that is also possible.  However, I find it is easier to do file editing within a textedit application rather than in a full-blown word processing application (don't need all the bells & whistles for simple tasks).

Hope this helps,
James

Hi
Ive had this problem but seem to remember someone telling me to highlight text, copy, then on blank word doc go to paste special on dropdown menu, choose unformatted text. It seems to work. Good luck.
