Geez, didn't you know that files from other programs can be viewed
from word processor pgms. Lots of files can be loaded into Notepad for
example but you won't make much sense out of them. However one can
grab certain aspects of files not intended for the WP programs such as
portions of "text" which can be pasted into other applications.

I learned this on MstercookDiscussions Yahoo! Group. The company that
sends the downloads isn't the same company that produces the CDs. They
didn't copy something properly. There are problems in the downloads.
People have gotten refunds because of it.


It's a problem in the software, not the download.

Oh, I think I understand. You are copying a recipe posted here that is
in mastercook format. Yeah, I can see getting rid of all those dots,
etc. When I copy a recipe from Mastercook and paste it into a Usenet
post, I try to delete all the nutritional stuff and the dots and dashes.

Would it help people if those of us using recipes formatted by special
software cleaned up the formats when pasting to Usenet for posting? I'd
be happy to do that.

Thanks for sharing that, Ross. Some people I knew were using Big Oven's
recipe software.

I never tried it because I've been quite happy with Mastercook and I
didn't feel the need to spend $29.95 on another program.

what we used to do was the ten or twelve we used like my grandmothers roll
recipe were in those paper plastic protectors in a binder, the rest were
either cook books or on the compjuter, we would browse and then maybe print
something and usually discard but if it was a total keeper it got a
protector, these we put in straight alpa order no catagories, Lee

Do you use Firefox, George? There is an excellent add-on called Recipe
Fox that will let you capture recipes from many, many popular web sites.
It's awesome. You click a little green button then click an export
button. Mastercook opens and you choose the cookbook to put the recipe
in. Voila! Like magic you have added an entire recipe from the internet
with 2 clicks. You can also get photos.

I think you need to have your Java up to date. There is a forum for users.

So you live in an RV and travel? I've thought of doing that myself!
I'm not sure about the driving part of it though. I usually use
secondary roads to go everywhere. I hate being on an expressway. They
make me tense and I think they're dangerous. I'm not in that big of a
hurry.

I don't mean to pry. You mentioned it, so I thought I would ask. I
envy you your lifestyle. I would love to flit from one place to the
next and spend a month, a week or a day. Then on to the next!

I am not at all understanding this, nb. I just copied a recipe from
Mastercook v.7. I pasted it into Word Perfect X(3). It formatted
perfectly. Using WP, I "published" the recipe to HTML and checked "open
browser"

Firefox opened and there was the recipe in a perfectly decent and
comprehensible format with not a single extraneous character.

I can repeat the process and send you a screen shot, if you'd like.

Perhaps older versions of Mastercook had proprietary issues, but I have
been using it since 1995 in various versions and I have never had a
problem moving a recipe from Mastercook into any format that displayed
text, including copying recipe from Mastercook and publishing them in
newsletters, either printed of electronic. The recipes also publish
perfectly into PDF.

I like sticking to the facts, something several ppl in this thread
seem to consider optional. Feigning ignorance while claiming mastery,
ignoring repeated confirmation of observed behavior, disputing
verifiable outcome, ad hominem attacks, everything but agree on the
one single FACT that keeps coming up, over and over.

Fine by me. Buy, use, promote, extol the virtues of, MC. Call me all
the names you like. I don't give a crap. I don't use it or any other
recipe software, so have no axe to grind or alternative software to
endorse. But, to continue and argue what is undisputable fact is jes
plain stupid.

Thanks Kent. I'm getting lazy in my old age....hahahaa

I've designed databases for the last 30 years, but don't want to
bother with taking the time to duplicate what is available so
inexpensively.

I just ordered "Master Cook" for $20, including shipping. I'm sure
it'll do what I need and 20 bucks isn't very much money.
 
well we got it right early on, i have like five or so signature dishes i
honestly think i make better than anyone living or dead, but beyond those, i
am happy to contribute a recipe design/idea and do all the clean up except
the things he prefers to do himself... we generally bake together as its
usually in the winter when work is slow and money is short, so baking is
entertainment, Lee

I'm trying to find the latest, greatest software that will allow
importing of existing recipes on the net and easy to use with great
search features.
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.Paste that onto your newly created file. IMPORTANT. Save
as
unformatted text, or you'll have a mess.
Then as I continue to search I put additional rib recipes in the
recipe file.
