I making a cook book need help.

Hi GardenerGirl,

1. Scan the recipe page.

2. Save the image file.

2. Open a Word document and Insert>Picture (image file).

3. Size and position the image as desired.

4. Create and position as many Text box(es) as necessary
to hold the recipe text etc.

5. Set text box to transparent (no fill), remove borders (no lines).

6. Save this document as a Word template. ( Blank Recipe Sheet)

You may use this document to enter and save completed recipes.

Alternatively;

Pre-print a number of "blank" copies of the first template.

Create a second template, from the first template, by deleting
the image and retaining just the text boxes.

Type deatails of recipe into this second template.

Save as new document, presumably referring to recipe in name.

Print the recipe details onto the pre-printed "blank" sheets.

Keep a small stock of pre-printed image sheeets.

HTH,

I'm glad you got it working.

These sorts of software conflicts are often difficult to track down.

Developing a plugin for Microsoft Works?

Posted: 17 Oct 2005 08:15 AM PDT

BTW...someone mailed me asking for the plugin...I know it's off-topic,
but if someone else is interested...it's available here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/remotecalendars/
http://remotecalendars.sourceforge.net
I would have done also the plugin for Microsoft Works Calendar (it
doesn't seem so different to Microsoft Outlook)...:(( but it isn't
possible...

Works 7.0: documents sent as e-mail attachments cannot be opened

Posted: 15 Oct 2005 03:13 PM PDT

You can save the file using the "save as" command on the
file menu in other formats. WPS is WORKS, DOC is WORD, and
RTF is rich text which is universal and the best format for
sending to people that you have not established a protocol
for file attachments.
It is a good idea to always include some details in the
plain text body of an email that describes the attachment as
to file type and what program opens the file. You can also
send a link to the Microsoft WORKS and or OFFICE pages where
people can download file converters or viewer for different
programs.

Hi John,

Seems you may not have the Windings2 font installed on your system.

However, check out other fonts on your system:

Works>Insert>Special Character allows you to quickly peruse font lists

See Windings and Characters obtained using Alt+0253 and Alt+0254

Resize as required.

Further, here's a description of fonts in general and Windongs2 in
particular.
