Well like I said before I LOVE the way the book looks in Artist format in Word. However it is very hard to read I think in Word format while in Song format. So I am going to stick with Excel for sorted by Song Title. Gotta keep things easy to read and I am only 30 and have good eyesight and I think sorted by song title in word looks bad. Also with the formating longer titles wrap and I do not like that. I think everything should stay on one line for a professional look to where with Artist I Love having it with the Artist listed once and then all the songs they sing under their name.

Are you planning on printing that for your customers? How about us older folks whose eyesight isn't so good?
Even with the sort by Artist don't the longer song titles wrap?
Besides in Word as well as Excel you can change the column widths, font size and even make the column borders visible. And if you really prefer to work in Excel you can bring it into Word then export to Excel. It will then fill in the cells as it should.
