Cookbook
Wizard Recipe Software
What
version of Windows do I need?
Cookbook
Wizard is built for Windows Vista and XP. Cookbook Wizard Recipe
Software Also operates on Windows 2000, NT, 98 and 95. Recent
enhancements have been completed for Windows Vista.
How
do I import recipes from Meal-Master ?
-
Using
your old DOS Meal-master program, export the recipes using normal
format. The file you save should end with .TXT
-
For
example: RECIPES.TXT , Use mealmaster normal format append.
-
Mealmaster
will save the file in the folder meal master is installed in.
-
Now
open Cookbook Wizard.
-
Select FILE
-
Select
IMPORT
-
A
window will appear. (import recipes)
-
Click
on the radio button next to Meal Master. This should be done before
you do anything using this window.
-
Now
select the Button with the 3 dots on it.
-
Now
use this dialog to locate the file with your recipes (recipes.txt)
you created with meal master.
-
This
dialog(window) is simple to use, just double click on the yellow
folders and it will list the files in the folder on the left side.
-
Its
best to DOUBLE click on the top folder first (C:\) then double click
on the folder that contains mealmaster(it may be something like MM.....)
-
Once
you find the recipes.txt
file with your recipes listed on the left, double click on it. The
window will disappear and the file name will be listed in the IMPORT
RECIPES WINDOW.
-
Now
just select the IMPORT button with shaking hands and recipes will be
imported into Cookbook Wizard.
That
may seem like a lot, but once you do one, its very simple.
How
can I network Cookbook Wizard and share my recipe database ?
1.
Install the software on each workstation.
2.
Designate a server(or a pc) to hold the database.
(a
dedicated machine is best!)
3.
On the server where the recipe database is,
SHARE
THE INSTALL FOLDER
(this
will allow other pc's to access it)
4.
On the workstations that will access the recipe database on the
server from step 3, you will need to map the share from the server as
a letter, map the shared folder as the letter P, be sure to select
the reconnect at login time or when the pc reboots the connection
will have to be added again.
5.
On the workstations that will access the recipe database you will
need to change a INI file, this is only done on PC's that access the
recipe database on the server or another PC. Search for the file
COOWIZ20.INI (number zero after the 2) and make the change as you see below:
[Recipe]
pathname=c:\Program
Files\CookbookWizard\
WILL
CHANGE TO:
[Recipe]
pathname=P:\
the
above change tells the pc where the recipe database is. Note it
tells cookbook wizard to look at P:\ which is the share created to
look at another server or PC.
PC
Power on rules: The PC or server with the recipe database MUST
be on first!
PC
Power off rules: The PC or server with the recipe database MUST
be turned off last!
If
you do not follow these PC power off/on rules your recipe database
may get damaged. It is best to leave the pc with the recipe database
on a server and ON all the time. Backup your database on the machine
that contains the database often. It is best to do a backup when the
database is not in use. This may involve all other workstations
powering down the pc first! You will need to purchase 1 copy of the
software for each PC. Your network must be high speed between the
locations. For example, Ethernet or token ring setup is fine.
My
Cookbook Wizard timed out, Why ?
You
must register
to continue use after 30 days. Once you register
a key will be emailed to allow you to continue where you left off.
All your recipes entered are still there. The key allows access back
into Cookbook Wizard.
I
registered Cookbook Wizard but never got my key?
Sometimes
emails do not reach the destination. Send us an email
and we will be more than happy to send the key again. Please include
your order number and full name and address. If you still do not get
a response, most likely your email is sent back to us as
undeliverable for some reason. In this case we will send your key via
postal mail.
I
registered my Cookbook Wizard several months ago. My hard drive
crashed and I did not write down or save my key like I should have?
We
receive so many E-mails on this. Please
SAVE your key!
Keys
match your software and must be saved. Click Here
if you lost your matching key.
How
do I
import recipes from a scanner ?
Cookbook
Wizard does not support scanners directly, but you can scan in
recipes if you have OCR software (Optical Character Recognition) for
your scanner.
You
scan in your recipe, use OCR to convert the image to a text file,
then save the file. You can then import that text file into Cookbook
Wizard using the "Recipe Import Wizard" on the file menu.
Is
there an easy way to print off a list of all my recipes BY CATEGORY?
To
do any custom printing.
1.
select DISPLAY then ALL RECIPES.
2.
select the CATEGORY TAB.
3.
select the desired CATEGORY you wish to view then print.
4.
select PRINT.
5.
Select PRINT A GROUP.
6.
select the CURRENT LIST OF RECIPES radio button(based on last search
from step 3) .
7.
select the PRINT button.
