How do I add a page or category to Cookbook template?
I downloaded two cookbook templates. They have numbered pages. I need to
add pages as well as categories. In other words, begin with the template and personalize the content for my family's use. I have used Word for years, so I am not feeling very smart at the moment. Thanks, Molly |

Just keep typing. To have something start on a new page, format the
paragraph so the it has a page break before it. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

How do I add a page or category to Cookbook template?
Maybe I needed to ask a different question. Doug, I tried what you suggested
and got some garbled text that was definitely "double-exposed" (like film) because it consisted of one page overlayed with another, and it took forever to load. Have I saved the template in the "wrong" format? I saved it in two different formats, as a word document and as a document template. And I worked with both for some time prior to my first post. I am running Office 2003 Pro and my computer is less than a year old. I have scanned for viruses and spyware. I also tried downloading the cookbook template a second time and starting over. The template is pretty, but for me, it has not been simple or easy. I finally began plugging my recipes into an Access database. It isn't exactly what I was looking for, but at least I am not spending hours and hours trying to personalize the template. My time is better spent getting my recipes into some usable form. Thanks so much for your response. I very much appreciate it, but the templates (I tried two different ones on the MS site) are more difficult to work with than Access.

My guess (without looking at any of the templates) is that they are created
with text boxes shudder, which will make them difficult to deal with. -- Suzanne S.
