None at all, CC. I'm just a regular person trying to find some fun and
enjoy myself on the net.

You greet me with unjustified claims of my having some sort of agenda.

I don't. Thanks for showing me such a warm welcome to rfc.

Having seen your website and read a lot of it, I have to compliment
you on how well its set up. Its informative and fun.

I'm surprised that you've greeted me in this manner.

I can only imagine that you're having a bad week or something. Perhaps
you'll be in a better mood tomorrow.

I even looked at your photo on your site. You don't look like a mean
person, so why are you acting like one?

They're still working out their roles in the kitchen, but I can see
that she'll probably be the chief cook on her days off and do all of
the baking.

Yeah right.



You're capable of sarcasm, who knew?



Well tried, but sucking up isn't going to score you any brownie points.



If you'd taken the time to do some research before shilling, you'd not be
surprised at all.



Not likely. Shills tend to piss me off 365 days a year.



See above.

Anyway, it's been nice playing with you. I'm off to check on dinner -
which, BTW is based on one of the recipes in the RFC Cookbook - which
AFAIAA is not available (in its entirety) from recipe software sites such
as MasterCook offer.

Version 7 of Mastercook worked perfectly with Word Perfect 11, which was
what I had before X(3). I got a coupon from Dell and got X(3) for free.

I find it just as easy to go to "edit" and hit "copy recipe" then paste
it to an email. Everyone can read the text. If someone wants to put it
in their Mastercook file, there is always "import assistant"

George, it never worked for me in 7 either.

Well, since I'll be here for quite some time, you'll have the chance
to learn that I'm not a shill for anything.

I don't give a rats ass what software anyone uses, if any at all.

My intentions were to find out from some people who use a lot of
recipes, what software they preferred. RFC is a perfect place to find
people who like recipes, ya think?

Had the consensus of opinion been that "RecipeMagic" was the perfect
software, I would have ordered that one. Instead, several members here
have said that they use MasterCook and are very pleased with it, so
I've ordered it for my own use.

You shouldn't be so quick to judge others. It makes you look stupid
and ignorant.

Shame on you for acting in this manner. You should be ashamed of
yourself.

Thanks Dora. I was looking at it on a site that reviewed that type of
software and it was #1 of the top ten they reviewed and had the most
people respond.

I think after looking at that, and your comments, I'll go ahead and
buy it.

Thanks!

Ahhhh, yes, now I understand. It would be nice if all the people who
post MC recipes fixed them up a bit in a text screen prior to posting
them. However, lots of people really don't care enough to do so.

I think Janet Wilder posted an example of how well it can look if some
care is given to a posting.

That would be true if everyone posted their recipes in mastercook
format, but when the recipe is copied, it puts it into a text format
that anyone can use.

If there is a specific recipe yu are looking for and I have it in
Mastercook, I'd be happy to sent it to you pasted into an email.

I'm sure you've thought of this, but I have done the following and like it.

1. I have created a wordprocessing template just for recipes, with a
header and outline, [recipe.doc]. When I want to make a specific dish and
I'm searching the internet, I open and save the template for that specific
dish. ]i.e. recipe-baby-back-ribs.doc]
2. Search the internet for recipes. When you find what appeals copy the
text from the print page for the recipe.
3. Paste that onto your newly created file. IMPORTANT. Save as
unformatted text, or you'll have a mess.
4. Then as I continue to search I put additional rib recipes in the
recipe file.[back ribs #2, etc].

I like this a lot because I have a list with detailed instructions, as
written, for dishes, each in a separate recipe file. I like knowing what I
did last time. It also allows me to make notes, what was good and what was
bad.

That must be the one where editing and you change tabbed areas (notes,
directions, etc) it crashes. I'll check the yahoo group right-away and get
the fix.

Answers to all questions about Mastercook can be found on he Yahoo!
Group MastercookDiscussion. The people who answer questions are
extremely knowledgeable. A couple of them work with the software company
to help fix glitches.

AFAIK, when you install a new version, it will put your cookbooks into
the new version.

The deal I found was the CD for $20 delivered via snail mail.

I'm not in that big of a hurry.

"Old Guy" is relative. I'm 58. I recently had a women who is in her
late 80's call me a young man! To her, I am.

I like having the CD for a permanent copy of software. It's not
affected by fires, floods, hurricanes, tornados, or hard drive
crashes.

"To each his own" comes to mind. :)>

Thank you so much! That's a very nice thing to do.

I'll test drive version 11 for you and even put up some screen shots
of the program if you wish.

It may even have a version history on the CD. If so, I could look at
it and tell you if any problems you're currently having with it have
been fixed or capabilities added.
