Above, you'll see the clip from my email that I received this morning.
Unless you're a dyed in the wool conspiracy nut, you'll now see that

If you have any class at all, you'd apologize now.
I'm guessing you won't, and that will tell the rest of the group as
well as me that you indeed have no class, manners or upbringing.

It's faster than you think. Here's how I do it:
Take out any stuff that isn't necessary to the recipe. Take care of the
spacing of the ingredients and also the spacing of the directions In
the directions, you will have to patch the lines together as saving the
Usenet posts to .txt does nutty things to the line spacing. Highlight
and copy the entire recipe. Open Mastercook. Pick the cookbook you want
to put the recipe in. Open it. Under "file" click "new" When that
opens, click "import assistant. A window opens. put the cursor in
there and paste.
If the recipe is in the proper format, just move the whole thing over at
once. If not you can clean things up in that window and move each
section of the recipe separately or the whole thing. It takes me about
2 minutes to move one from the .txt file to Mastercook.
Since I don't always use everything I save or don't get to it for a
while, I put the number 1 in front of the name of the file so I know
it's not copied to a cookbook yet. When I copy it, I delete the 1.

I don't mind constructive criticism and I know that Mastercook is
certainly not perfect, but I truly don't understand all the criticism
against it.
If y'all are happy using Micro$oft Word, Notepad, Wordpad, Word Perfect
or whatever for your recipes, then stay with it, but if you have not
used Mastercook, then perhaps you might want to limit your criticism to
what you have actually used and not base it on conjecture?
BTW, I have no financial interest in whomever is selling Mastercook
these days. I'm just a satisfied user.

Thanks Bob, Pete and Marty.
I decided to go a little more high-tech and bought Master Cook.
I'm a retired Database Admin and Designer, but I didn't want to spend

It does everything I would need and then some.

I'm trying to find the latest, greatest software that will allow

Thanks!

Opened the cookbook and pasted it into the big window

recipe moves over into the file. Click save and it's done.
http://i55.tinypic.com/a3whh.jpg
Before clicking "save" I go into the categorize section in the recipe
and check the category boxes. Same for the drop box for Cuisines.
A couple of clicks and I'm done with my recipes in a cookbook, with
categories, search capabilities, changeable serving calculations,
nutritional information and even, if I want, pictures!
I've done the word processing thing and I can truly say, Mastercook is
soooooo much better. Just having the database abilities is worth it and
there is no more work to putting a recipe in than there is in putting a
recipe into a final text file. You have to clean up almost every recipe
you take from the net or Usenet to some extent.
