- IMPORTANT All built-in reports are created using the HP Laserjet III
- printer. If your printer is not an HP Laserjet III printer, you need to
- modify the printer setup for each built-in report and specify your printer
- model. To specify your printer model:
-
- 1. From the View menu, select Recipe or click on the Recipe icon in the main
- tool bar or press CTRL+I. Recipes displays the Recipe view.
- 2. From the File menu, select Modify Report. Recipes displays the Select
- Report File dialog box.
- 3. Select a report. For example, select Recipes.fp. Recipes displays the
- report window.
- 4. From the report's File menu, select Printer Setup. Recipes displays the
- Printer Selection dialog box.
- 5. Select your printer from the Available Printers list.
- 6. From the report's File menu, select Exit. Recipes prompts you with the
- message "Do You Wish to Save the Modifications?"
- 7. Select Yes.
- 8. Repeat steps 1 to 7 for each report.
-
- FIND AND REPLACE IN DIRECTIONS AND NOTES.
- When using the Find and Replace option in Directions and Notes, you can
- either choose the Find or Replace option and then type in the text you want
- to find in the Find What box or highlight the text you want to find and
- choose Find or Replace and the highlighted text will be inserted in the
- Find What box automatically.
-
- A SPECIAL USER LIST FOR SHOPPING LIST AND ADD INGREDIENTS.
- When adding items to prepare a new shopping list or adding ingredients to
- a new recipe, it's nice to have a list of items that you can select over
- and over again without having to retype it each time. Recipes for Windows
- 2.0 provides you with a special user list called "__Ingredient Name__" where
- you can define the items that you need most frequently. To define these
- items:
-
- 1. From the Option menu, select Manage User Lists.
- Recipes displays the Manage User Lists dialog box.
- 2. From the Available User List, select __Ingredient Name__.
- Several predefined items are displayed in the User List Items list box.
- You can add, edit or delete them using the Add, Edit and Delete buttons.
- 3. Press Close.
- These items will be available in the Name field when you add or edit
- ingredient from the Shopping List or Recipe dialogs.
-
- NOTE: unlike other User Lists in the program, you can only add, edit or
- delete items in the __Ingredient Name__ list from the Manage User Lists
- option. In other User Lists you also have to use the Manage User Lists
- option to edit or delete items, but you can add new items to list when you
- use the list in other dialog boxes.
-
-
- SCALING BUTTON
- The scaling button is added to the main tool bar. This button is only
- available when the Recipe view is active. The scaling button is also
- available in the Recipe dialog box.
-
- SCALING
- Two new options have been added to the Scaling Dialog Box. You can scale
- units only or Quantity and units.
