How to put text on a table line
I am trying to use word to construct chord and scale charts for guitar
students. This involves drawing grids, in which the horizontal lines represent guitar strings, and the vertical lines represent the frets on the guitar. When playing a guitar, you obviously put your finger directly on the strings, so to use an MS Word table, you'd have to have a way to center the text on the actual table grid line, not within the cell. Does that make sense? In other words, like strikethrough, but typing directly on the table cell lines. Can anyone think of a way to do this in Word? Thanks. |

What you want to do makes sense, but Word can't do it without a lot of finicky positioning of floating objects. It would be a lot less work to either get a program that's designed for this (ask Google about "guitar tabulature software") or to use a drawing program to create jpg files of all the chord charts. You could insert these into a Word document as pictures if you need a Word document. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
