Topic: format for writing songs

I'm trying to write my songs on my dell, can anyone tell me what program they use to make the printed song look like the  ones we get from chordie. I'm not very good with my computer yet. I waste alot of paper trying to get a song to fit on one sheet. I just want other to be able to read and sing the song as it look on paper. Help please. Thank You.

The format to chopro (What is used here) is found in the sticky post at the top of the songwriting forum.
Also this website http://webchord.sourceforge.net/ is a good place to try out your song in the correct format.
