Default Formatting question...

Hello -

Wonder if someone can offer a solution to the following:

I have several Word documents: each of them are songs containing
lyrics with chords, all written in Times New Roman. For example,
here's what a few lines would look like:

C D G
HERE IS A SONG WITH LYRICS
C D G
AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

I want to import them into a program that needs to see monospaced,
non-tabbed, raw-text alignment. I can't just highlight everything in
Word and convert it to courier, because everything gets misaligned.
Is there anyway to convert exactly what's on screen into a monospaced
font, while preserving the relationship between lines (WYSIWYG)?

Thanks!

Hi,
Have you tried creating the songs using a Table format in
Word, then converting it? Maybe if the text is contained
in rows in a table you can convert it easier. Just a
guess.... good luck
