Re: SongBook Printing Book ID in Bold Print

Which version of word do you have ?
This is fairly easy in Word 2003 although I find it can only cope with about 100 pages maximum in that so you need to split your songbook.rtf file into blocks of 100 pages or less.

The latest version Word 2016 seems to keep hanging up on my computer doing this and takes ages to process and seems best to reduce to about 40 pages at a time.
Let us know which version of Windows you have and Ill try to explain how to do it.



I now always compile mine in Microsoft Access, it takes a bit of time setting it up but once you have the template set its just a matter of keep saving the songbook file in csv format and opening with the same template.

Heres an example of mine online:

My paper copy just has the background colour removed.

If you have Access let me know which version and Ill try and explain how to set it up in that.
