GuitarPro Importing

sale · #1 May 27th, 2006

I found Chet Atkins tab Taste of Honey and the only way to save that tab is to past it to Microsoft Word.
In Word you can only save the file as a Microsoft Document or XML
The problem is that I want to import the tab in to GuitarPro 5.
GuitarPro 5 can import MIDI, ASCII, MUSIC XML, POWERTAB, TABEDIT.
I tried to save that tab in Word as a XML document and it saved successfully, but when I try to import XML document into GuitarPro it doesn't want to import it.
I don't know is XML file that I saved in Word just XML not XML Music file?

And the other question how can I overshoot Word document into Tab edit?
To cut the long story short how can I import file saved in Word in GuitarPro 5.
I really want to import some tabs to GuitarPro 5.

Thanks
Sale

Maybe try opening the doc file in Wordpad or Notepad, saving it as a .txt file and then try importing it? In theory, that could work I guess.

Cut and paste from Word to Notepad, if you can't save as text. But I believe Word should have a text save option.
