Re: using (chordie)song books off line?

I found the best way is to click on "View/Print Songbook" - this creates a formatted webpage of your songbook, with an index page. Then from that window click - "File - Save As" and choose 'Webpage Archive' and give it a name. This will save your entire songbook as a single file which can be viewed or printed without having Internet access. I use this to distribute songbooks to family members for our family reunions - campfire singalongs.

Give it a try - works for me.
