Hello, I have read through this post and it brings me to ask a couple of questions:
1. If I am using iTextExpress to set the recipe up to be accepted by Paprika as described below, do I save the doc in the .YML file type. That file type is not in the list in iText Express. 2. If I need to create a new file, what's the difference in just doing a copy/paste into the set fields in Paprika? Maybe I am just not totally comprehending the format or process to accomplish importing my recipes that I have in a different format. Sometimes when I am doing something for the first time, I need step-by-step instructions to process it. I am only 4 months with the Mac, so please be patient with me. Thanks in advance.
