My apologies if this information is found elsewhere...
I need help with a process, I often find recipes on a web page and would like to import them into PDACookbook.

I know that it can import many types, including .txt, .csv, etc.
In what format must it be to import as a .txt file? If I copy the recipe to notepad (windows version), what editing must I do to the text file so that the program can understand it?

I would import it as a csv, but it doesn't give options for all of the columns I would want to utilize (like quantity). Any ideas?

Thanks,
philotus

You will want to use the Smart Ingredient Paste feature to copy and paste ingredients (see the PC help file).

You can copy/paste the title and instructions, and then copy the ingredients text block and use smart ingredient paste (Edit menu).

Thanks.
