For a little simpler "icon" setup, you could use a table, with a {Song#} field in each square. You can format borders and background shading in the table, and it's probably a little easier to handle than the text boxes, especially if you havent' fought with the TBs before. For a hint - an empty column or row formatted minimum width and shaded makes for flexible borders and colors.

I should have noted that to change the song selection, you just highlight a new title, Insert - Bookmark, and click on the existing Bookmark name for the line where you want that title to show. Using an existing bookmark name removes it from the old location and puts it at the new one.

If you leave a "blank" field, i.e. no bookmark to fill it, it will display and will print an error message. Rather than deleting the field, just put a bookmark on a blank space to get rid of the error message. Whatever is highlighted (selected) when you Insert - Bookmark is what will be displayed when you update the field that "calls" that bookmark.
