I struggled to understand how to import a basic RealBook -- got help and now just want to spell out my understanding in case it's of use to others:
1. Google around till you find a .PDF of Real Book Vol.1, 5th edition.
2. Google around till you find a .CSV for Real Book Vol.1, 5th edition.
3. I saved them both in the same Dropbox folder with the same name: Real-Book 5th Vol 1
4. In MS, click Import 'CSV or PDF Bookmarks' -- choose your folder where the two files are saved -- and select them both at once.
5. When you click 'OK', they will both come flying in and all bookmarks will now appear and work in your song list.
Note: The first time I did this, my CSV file was wrong and kept taking me to the wrong page. I just deleted the entire set of songs and started over until I got the correct .csv file which is now working a dream.
Many thanks to MS and Mike for the support in figuring this out.
