So I went to open up some song lyrics I typed up to print them, but instead of my lyrics, all that was there was: [code]ptab Ú ÿÿ CGuitar Untitledh@ Standard@;72-( ÿÿ CGuitarIn ÿÿ CSection2 § € ÿÿ CStaff ! ÿÿ CPosition ÿÿ CLineData* €€ €¢ €€ €£ €€ €‚ € €¢ €€ €‚ €€ €* € € €‚ € €* €€ €* € € €¢ €€ €£ € €‚ €€ €¢ €€ €‚ €€ €* € €€ €€ €‚ €€ €ƒ €€ €b € €‚ €€ €` €€ €‚ €€ €€ € €£ €€ €€ €€ €€ € € €‚ €! €ƒ €2 Á C € € € €b €€ €‚ €€ €` €€ €€ € €ƒ € € €… €€ €ƒ €€ €€ € €ƒ €€ €… €€ €ƒ €€ €b €€ € €e €ƒ €!€ €g €… €2 ] ß € € € €e €ƒ €€ €b €€ €€ €e €ƒ € € €g €… € €e €ƒ €€ €b €€ €€ €b €€ €€ €e €ƒ € €e €ƒ €€ €g €… €€ €g €… €€ €e €ƒ € €e €ƒ €€ €b €€ €€ €b €€ €€ €e €ƒ € €e €ƒ €!€ €g €… €" €g €… €2 ù Š € €! € €e €ƒ €€ €e €ƒ €€ €b €€ €€ €e €ƒ € €g €… €€ €j €ˆ €€ €b €€ €€ €e €ƒ € €g €… €€ €j €ˆ € €‚ €* € Untitled!h@ Bass+&! € €2 } € € Arial  Times New Roman  Times New Roman[/code] The hell Microsoft?

You can't read that, there's something obviously wrong with your computer.
[QUOTE=Amplar;24793444]Macs don't do this! :downs:[/QUOTE] Ofc, I wear a macintosh jacket. How would they do this.
[QUOTE=Amplar;24793444]Macs don't do this! :downs:[/QUOTE] Definitely worth the extra $1,500 then, huh?

by the 3rd post this turned into a mac vs pc argument gj facepunch
OP, what format did you save them in?
Also, from now on, I'm writing lyrics by HAND. My handwriting is so crap I can't even read it sometimes.
That's a good song, what the hell are you talking about? In all seriousness, maybe it's your printer.
try opening them in Notepad++ or Wordpad
Don't open .doc files with notepad. [editline]07:02PM[/editline] Open it with what you typed it in.
[QUOTE=Sonicfan574;24793545]try opening them in Notepad++ or Wordpad[/QUOTE] Don't use wordpad if you're on W7. It sucks hard.

PEBKAC (Problem exists between keyboard and chair)
[QUOTE=Tabfilms;24793575].doc, Did I do something wrong? :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Opened with what program? Notepad? W7 Notepad?
[QUOTE=Tabfilms;24793575].doc, Did I do something wrong? :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Open it with Microsoft Word, man.
[QUOTE=Mac2468;24793567]Don't use wordpad if you're on W7. It sucks hard.[/QUOTE] I'm on XP.
[QUOTE=JaxJesse315;24793599]Open it with Microsoft Word, man.[/QUOTE] Yeah, that.
[QUOTE=Tabfilms;24793575].doc, Did I do something wrong? :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Yes you did, .doc files store more information than a raw text file. It's cosmetic crap for people with a low attention-span. Open it either in Wordpad, Microsoft Word or Microsoft Works Word Processor.
[QUOTE=Tabfilms;24793575].doc, Did I do something wrong? :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Notepad doesn't read .docs, if you don't have microsoft word, use openoffice to open them. It's a free program that acts pretty much just like MS Office.
Great song. Can't wait for you to put it in audio.
