Hello folks.
Could anyone please tell me of any software that will allow me to make/draw chord diagrams that I can paste as pictures/images into Microsoft Word documents? Simple black dots and grids on a white background will do. The ones I've made in TablEdit are too small for me to read when printed onto A4 sized song sheets.

Peter,
You might try MS Publisher, Power Point, or maybe even MS Paint if you have them.
I dont think the docs are interchangable with MS Word, but you will be able to print out
from any of those apps.
Also, did you try changing the output settings to your printer, or change the font size in Tabledit?
In Tabledit, if you click the file pull down button you will see "print preveiw". click that, and you can change fonts,
and other settings from in there.

This site may have something you can use. It has pages of various blank chord and tab sheet that you can print or COPY into word documents. I haven't tried to add/edit to these, yet. But it might be worth a try.

I've done the adding manually after bringing into Word Docs.

I'm not sure what exactly it is you want to do, but I was able to cut and paste some of these chord images into a Word Document. From there you should be able to manipulate it any way you want.
Good Luck,

I used Microsoft Excel to make my chord diagrams, which you can paste into Word. You can see some examples on my web site at GuitarMore.com
You can also go to Google images and search, "guitar chord diagrams" and see many chord images there.
