|
| Can I calculate nutritional information for my own recipes? |
| Yes. Once you have entered your recipe into the Bartender's Companion you need to link the recipe ingredients to the ingredients in the ingredient database. Once the linking is complete you can calculate the recipe nutrition information. See the application help topic titled "Calculate Recipe Nutrition" for more information. |
| |
|
| When I export recipe can I export the images too? |
| No. The export file format does not support images. |
| |
|
| Can I import recipes from the Internet? |
| Yes. Recipes from the Internet, from text files, spreadsheets, and other sources can imported into the application using the Recipe Capture feature. See the application help topic titled "Capture Recipes from the Internet" for more information. |
| |
|
| Can I add my own ingredients to the ingredient database? |
| Yes. You can add your own ingredients, enter nutritional information, and link these ingredients to your own recipes. See the applicatio help topic title "Create an Ingredient" for more information. |
| |
|
| I just entered a new recipe with a number of ingredients. Why can't I see those ingredients in the ingredient database? |
| The ingredient database contains more than 6000 ingredients and their nutritional properties. An example of an ingredient database entry is "Onions, raw." Recipe ingredients are stored separately. An example of a recipe ingredient is "1 cup chopped onion." A recipe ingredient such as "1 cup chopped onion" can be linked to an ingredient in the ingredient database such as "Onions, raw" in order to perform nutritional analysis. You can add more ingredients to the ingredient database, but this is rarely necessary since the database already contains all of the ingredients found in most recipes. |
| |
|
| Why do some recipes have a lot of nutritional information and some recipes only have a small amount? |
| If recipe nutrition information is entered manually (instead of calculating it from the recipe ingredients) only the entered information will be shown. |
| |
|
| Can I add an image to a recipe? |
| Yes. Open the Edit Recipe dialog and click the Photograph ellipsis button to select a photograph for the recipe. Images saved as JPEG or GIF files use the least space on your hard drive. If you own an image or photo editing program, resizing the recipe images to a width of 250 pixels works best. See the application help topic titled "Edit a Recipe" for more information. |
| |
|
| If I enter recipes into the demo version will I lose them if I upgrade to a registered copy of Bartender's Companion? |
| No. Your recipes will be imported into the new database. |
| |
|
| Can I view captured web pages when I am not connected to the Internet? |
| No. The database of captured web pages is designed to be used while connected to the Internet. To store the web pages in the database would make it prohibitively large. |
| |
|
| Can I change the headers, footers and margins when I print a recipe? |
| Yes. Bartender's Companion uses Microsoft Internet Explorer technology to display and print recipes. The steps to adjust the print settings for Bartender's Companion are the same as those for Internet Explorer. See the application help topic titled "Modify print headers, footers and margins" for more information. |
| Why is the download file so large? |
| Bartender's Companion is powerful software with a rich user interface and a large number of recipes. The developers decided that a longer download time was a small price to pay for first-rate software. If your Internet connection is prohibitively slow, we can mail you a free demo CD. |
