Lol, I can understand her attachment to the recipe cards as I have a sentimental attachment to those I am honored to have inherited. However, I love this software. I have children that have moved out on their own and others yet to fly from the nest. I love being able to use the software to compile a book full of love and comfort that they grew up knowing and tasting.
The result is that I do still have and love the original recipe cards that contain the lovenly hand written recipes passed down by my Great Grandmother, Grandmother( both now pased away) and others. These, as they are added into my cookbook are then sealed and protecte , to be kept in a safe place to just read occasionally and remember fondly those days as a child at their side learning their ways.
So now I have the best of both worlds. I have a cookbook and recipes that I can pass on to others. Allowing me to keep safe, from further damage though use, those treasured recipe cards.

Hi Anony-
You can install it on up to 3 computers, which is pretty generous by most software standards these days. And we’re a small, family business, so we’re open to unlocking it for more computers if you can give us a good reason on a case-by-case basis.

If you buy the software, you should be able to install it on multiple computers without buying multiple copies. Are you going to be another Microsoft Matilda? Even if Matilda says you cant, you really can. EULA should allow for use on any of your computers. If I own 5 computers, should I have to buy 5 copies of the software just so I can use it on every computer?

If one downloads TinySpell, how does one use it?

How do you access it to check the recipes in your software?

Hi, Natalie-
Yes, it does for nearly everybody.

Truth is we’ve run into a few glitches on a couple of computers, but they are a small number and we always recommend they use TinySpell, a free little program available here:

Not sure I understand your question–you can find all the cookbook templates here:

Just send your friend/family the link.

Although the 2 page conversion chart is great… it has a big mistake for butter.

1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup (not 1/4 cup)

I haven’t reviewed the complete list, but it would be nice if the pdf file could be corrected and reposted on line.
