Printing Tablature...

Unread post by GrateDMB21 » Sun Feb 06, 2005 2:53 pm

Does anyone else have a problem with printng tablature off other websites. I really dont want to print the webpage, so I usually copy and paste what I want in either Notepad, WordPad or Word and it comes out off-centered and just all over the place. Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

I always manually did it. It sucks but oh well.

A lot of sites have a "print tab" thing that will put it in Courier for you to print. I didn't really read, probably not what you're asking.

Your font is definitely the problem. Like Haiku Warrior said, Courier (or Courier New, I suppose) is the only way to go.

just highlight what you want to print, then right click on the highlighted words and click print. when the print box comes up click on selection insead of all. you will just print what you wanted. i think that helps if thats what you are talking about

Courier is monospaced right?

I think that's the problem with alignment.

Occasionally when you copy from a web page the past comes out misaligned and in the wrong font. DAMN!
