I have been testing this program, and I like it, but I am comparing to
typing recipes into a Word file.

I like the mutiple print formats, and the feature of adding pictures/scans.

I don't really want recipes, but want a place to store my own. Is there any
that is more flexible/easier for imput or import? I feel this is just a
little clunky.

Thanks!

Are you creating your own cookbook? I admire people who have the
ambition to put all their recipes into one place or format, but have to
admit my practice is just the opposite. I like searching through the
cookbooks and the recipe drawer full of miscellaneous scraps of paper
and clippings to find some recipe. Now and then serendipity operates
to let me notice something else that triggers a later meal. For
capturing recipes from the group or the web, I just copy and paste into
Notepad and save under mydocuments/food/ with a name that lets me find
it again. No muss, no fuss. -aem

Shop'NCook (http://www.shopncook.com) is very smart for importing
recipes directly from text files. It will import all your recipes at
once with a minimum of formatting and in a mostly automated way.
