To keep formatting when copying from Notepad to MS Word

Hey all,

I have always had trouble copy/paste MS Notepad texts to MS Word because usually the formatting goes away. It is important to keep formatting if you are especially copying guitar chords.

Here is what I do to keep the formatting.

1. Copy the content from webpage to MS Notepad.
2. Copy the text from MS Notepad to MS Word
3. Change MS Word font to a fixed length font like Courier New

That's all!

cheers!!!
