I've found it's sometimes more convenient to print recipes (just as I do photos of quilts) by just RIGHT clicking mouse...select "print picture" and, presto, I have a hard copy. Probably deletes all the calories too, huh?

Thanks Sue, I am learning my way around slowly, but surely. I printed it just in case.

I agree with the book mark thing, so what I do now, is that I highlight whatever, in this case, the recipe, then do a right click on it, and scroll down and hit the copy button, and paste it into a blank word document. Then, I print it off. One of the ways that I am dealing with the new board.
