Read this over and see if it makes sense to you Theresa - it's what I do. "without a lot of copying and pasting?" - uhhhh, it's copying and pasting, but not 'a lot of'

\/ <---- this will stand for ‘click on’
Open M.C. and \/ ‘cookbooks’
\/ file
\/ New Cookbook – set up new cookbook per instructions, then when you’re ready to import from word, in your word document (that you have in recipe form and this is important –
Recipe name
1 line space
Recipe ingredients (no line breaks in this list)
1 line space
Recipe directions (in this section you can break up paragraphs and add whatever notes you want)
when the above is all set to go in your word program – hit control button and ‘A’ at the same time to ‘select all.’
Right \/ and select copy.
Go to your mastercook cookbook you want to import the recipe to and…
Right \/ envelope icon which is the “import/export/email” and \/ on ‘import assistant’ (this icon is on the right 2nd from the bottom)
A little box will show up – paste your recipe in it and
\/ ‘auto-fill’
That’s it. At least that’s how I do it – the computer whizzes around here will probably come up with better language and/or skills, but at least I get my recipes in there.
