LESSON 2: Saving Recipes or Text

Another way to save recipes or text is to go to 'File' in the upper left
hand corner and click on it. Move cursor down to 'Save As' and click on
it. A saving form will come up. I suggest you save everything in the
beginning on your 'C' drive, and be sure to save it as 'Text Document'
in the 'Save as type' area. In the 'File Name' area, give it the name of
the title of the document or recipe you are saving (something that you
will recognize when you go to 'C' drive to access it). Saving by this
method, you do not scroll it to make it change color. When you are ready
to view and edit the document you have saved, go to 'Start' and click on
it with your right mouse. Then click on 'Explore'. When 'Explore' is in
view, go to your 'C' drive, and scroll to find the name of your
document. Double click on it and it should come into view. To edit the
document, read through it and see if it is really something you want to
keep. Your 'C' drive will soon get filled up, and you won't have the
space you need for other documents or materials. Should you decide to
keep it, just close it or exit it and leave it alone for the time being.
Should you decide not to keep it, go to 'File' in the upper lefthand
corner, and move cursor down to 'Delete' and click on it.

This method of saving works very well if you have a number of recipes in
a file that you want to save. For instance, should you want to save the
whole recipe file from TKL message board, where the recipes from the
night befores Chat, are posted by Betsy, and the Message Board URL is:
http://www.kitchenlink.com/wwwboard/tklcc.html

Should you want to save only a few of the recipes, then the 'Copy and
Paste' method works best. Go to 'Start' and go up to 'Programs' and move
up to 'Accessories' and move cursor down to 'Notepad' and click on it. A
'Notepad' form will appear. Go to the upper right hand corner, and minus
this form into the 'Task Bar' below. Select the particular recipes you
want to save, one at a time, and scroll it, and press 'Control' and 'C'
at the same time to cut it. Bring the 'Notepad' up again by clicking on
it in the 'Task Bar' below. Place your cursor on the 'Notepad' and press
'Control' and 'V' to paste it. Minus the 'Notepad' back to 'Task Bar'
and continue with this process until you have saved only the recipes you
want. When you have finished, go to the upper right hand corner to
'File' and click on it. Move down to 'Save As' and save the file as a
text document on 'C' drive for the time being. Give it the name of "TKL
Recipes and the date" or the group name for the recipes and the date.

This is the end of Lesson 2. Later, I will tell you how to make a recipe
file so that you can put these saved recipes into it, and eventually get
them moved off on to a floppy to keep some open space on 'C' drive. It
does get filled up eventually, and won't take any more unless you have a
lot of drive space.
