Editing troubles in songbook!!!

I added a song to my songbook, then I pushed the edit button and added all the chords that were missing from the text. Everything was working fine until I saved and went back to my songbook. It still looked like this (I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
Em            Am
The long broken arm of human law
F
Now it always seemed such a waste
C
She always had a pretty face). The text still looks like a typewriter text and not the normal chordie type of text or font. I know there are certain codes you must put in and I tried{sot} which turns the text into typwriter text and {sot} turns it into chordie text. I typed in {sot} and it turned to chordie text like I wanted it, but this is still in the edit page. When I return to my songbook there are no changes and it's still in typwriter text. Could you give me a solution, in the edit page the song is nicely edited but there is no scroll, so I got to stop playing and move up the screen while I try to learn this song. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The song is one headlight by the walllowers.
