Problems w/ 4.03 - Songbook & Word 2007

Another way you can format your Word document is to open as usual in two column mode, then select all from the Edit menu, then go to the tables menu and click convert text to tables. In the window that pops up enter 2 columns,
then click auto fit to contents. At separate text at, click other and enter ";" (the semi colon not the enclosed quotes) then press OK. It will put your song id in a separate column and you can adjust this column width to suit you. if you don't like all the lines separating things you can go to format borders and play around with these settings. Also you can format the columns separately like change case in the Artist & title fields or change song id column to bold.
Just play around with these settings and you might get what you want.

For those that haven't worked in Word 2007 it's like learning a whole new program. I hate it when they change things just to make it different and not better. For example macros are now hidden in the "View" menu (same in Excel 2007, at least they're consistant this time). "Convert to Text" can't be found by me. I'm thinking it might be easier to do it in Excel with concatenation and word wrapping.

I think I found a solution. If I "Select All" and then set the Paragraph "Right Indent" to .5 it cleans it up pretty good.

Word 2003: "Edit" "Select All" "Format" "Paragraph" set "Indentation Right" to .5

Word 2007: "Home" "Select" "Select All" "Page Layout" set "Indent Right" to .5

Thanks for all the ideas guys!
