Not worth the money!!!
I purchased this software thinking that it would be a quick and easy way to organize recipes we had collected from newspapers and magazines over the years. I WISH I HAD NEVER PURCHASED IT. After typing over 300 recipes, I discovered the following problems:
* If you decide to change the name of a recipe from uppercase to something else, the software will not let you.
* The only layout design is two columns on one page which can be confusing for following a recipe.
* You cannot decide on page breaks which leads to some recipes starting at the very bottom of a page.
* Photos appear at the bottom of a recipe followed by a line which make it look like its the photo for the next recipe.
* You can only print on one side a of page.
* The software does not do page numbers.
* Printing problems are frequent. The website shows little concern with answering customer problems other than offering to print the cookbook for you at more cost.
I ended up copying all of my recipes into Microsoft Word. It let me pick the page set-up, page breaks, fonts, insert photos, and make a great table of contents with page numbers! There are a number of templates you can download from the Microsoft website.
Don't waste your time with this software!

A great improvement over other programs!
The program has a lot to offer and does make it easy to print recipes. I feel I need a printed overview of its capabilities and how to's, however. The disc is the only thing you receive and it begins with "Add a recipe". For me this was frustrating and I wanted a brief summary of it's potential and some guidance on what to do. MW

Worst Software Program I ever bought
I thought I was buying a software program where i could type in my recipes and the program would help me organize them by type of recipes, print out the recipes, and send the recipes to my friends via email.
Boy was I ever wrong!!!
All this program does is allows me to enter recipes, and categorize them by type of recipes. There is no easy way to search for recipes, print a group of recipes together, or easily compare recipes. Nor can I simply go to the category and look up a recipe.
The developer of this software appears to be using access as the data base engine. When you look at where it gets installed on your computer, an images folder that contains numerous religious and other images that have nothing to do with the program come up.
There are bible pictures, Morman references, etc. Very strange. This was the biggest waste of money.

Very disappointed
Bought this based on reviews in Amazon but VERY disappointed in this software. It does not allow you to search by type of dish (dessert, entree, etc) and is very basic software. Wish it would allow for better sorting - allow for better data entry and enter nutritional data. Have entered a number of recipes but going to have to find some other way - just too much trouble to use.

Great Product, easy to use
I love this sofware program, it is so easy to use. I have been collecting family recipes from both my husband's side of the family and mine for some months now and have put them all into this software. I have ordered their binder kits and will be putting all of them together for Christmas gifts to family. If you are like our family and everyone looses family favorite recipes and one person is always calling the other to see if they have it. You will love this gift you can make and give everyone...all the favorites and special recipes that mean to much to families. I love that you can insert pictures or stories next to the recipes to make them even more special and it truly becomes an instant heirlom.
