|
| 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? |
| Yes. You can export images using the FDX file
format. |
| |
|
| 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 application 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 "Orange juice drink." Recipe
ingredients are stored separately. An example of a recipe ingredient
is "1 ounce orange juice." A recipe ingredient such as "1 ounce
orange juice" can be linked to an ingredient in the ingredient
database such as "Orange juice drink" 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. However, we strongly recommend doing a backup of your
data before upgrading, just in case. Simply choose Backup from
the File menu and follow the prompts. See the Bartender's Companion
Help file for more detailed instructions. |
| |
|
| 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 (shipping and handling
charges apply. |
