In reply to: Using a Compatible Text EditorThanks for your recommendation, Eridout.
I’ve been experimenting with a lot of text editors over the last few days, and so far TextEdit (a Mac program) is closest to what I need. I can create perfect chord charts in TextEdit, print them for my students and save them on my hard drive for future use, and then export them to HTML (choosing the no-CSS parameter). Pasted into the WordPress HTML Editor, it looks great. It appears that a key feature is that it converts spaces to non-breaking-spaces (not the NBSP entity, but the invisible non-breaking space).
Unfortunately, I can’t use TextEdit–need a Windows program that will run on the PC in my music studio. Any ideas???

In reply to: Using a Compatible Text EditorHere’s an example of a typical chord chart. You’ll see it also has a couple tables, but I think I can figure out how to include those easily.

In reply to: Using a Compatible Text EditorHi Eridout,
Converting the charts to an image would certainly fix my formatting problems, but it prevents search engines (or users) from scanning my text. Not an option, unfortunately.
The chord charts I’ve already posted to my site use Verdana font, at a consistent font size, and work well in pretty much any browser I’ve seen.
Speaking of which, I’ve considered just cutting-and-pasting the text from MS Word into the HTML editor in a PRE tag. If I style PRE to match the original font, this formats everything correctly. The only problem is, I put the chord names in bold, and this styling gets lost.
Thanks for your ideas!
Rob

In reply to: Using a Compatible Text EditorThank you for your response, t-p. Could you clarify how this could help my situation? Neither editor works for me–setting one or the other as default seems beside the point.
