Hi Jim, this is the first time i have had to thank you for all your assistance. Hoorah!!! I finally have been able to start importing my text recipes into Mac Gourmet Deluxe, with the method you have described so kindly. I just want confirmation on this pointer though because I have been doing the highlighting and placement of the specific text into their respective fields by arrowing to the specific edit field and then using the shortcut key. If I reread your last email, it seems like I can just highlight the specific info and then use the shortcut key to place it in its edit field. Is that correct?
On another topic with Mac Gourmet Deluxe, I was wondering if this is just unique to my inexperience in using the app. Whe all is said and done, I press the "Save" button in Mac Gourmet Deluxe and receive an alert message. It states something to this affect: "Mac Gourmet Deluxe has closed unexpectedly" and then I am given options to restart the program, ignore, or close, etc. when I reopen the program and check the recipe table, I review to see if the recipe had been added and it has. I was wondering if this has happened to you too. I am running ML, so if you are running Mavericks that may be the difference. I'm not sure if I need to contact the developers to see if there is something that I can do to correct the situation. This seems to happen almost all the time when I save the recipe. Again, thanks for all of your help and being so patient with me. I am getting the hang of it, but I just want to refine my steps to be more efficient. kind regards, Eileen On Feb 2, 2014, at 10:43 AM, Jim Gatteys <jgatt...@gmail.com> wrote: > If you vo navigate to the clippings table and then vo navigate to the > specific recipe you want to clip and press enter it will open the editor for > you to select text.
