Choosing an export file format

Living Cookbook supports a variety of export file formats. The one you choose depends on a number of factors, the most important of which are 1) who you are sending the file to; and 2) what software the recipient has.

  1. Choose FDX if you are sharing information with people who use Living Cookbook, Diet Pro or Bartender's Companion. FDX is the only file format that supports sharing of ingredient, menu, calendar, glossary item, cooking technique, web page and search information.
  2. Choose HTML if you are sharing information with people who do not have recipe management software. You can export recipes, ingredients, cooking techniques and glossary items in HTML format. Data exported as HTML can be viewed using any web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc.). HTML data cannot be imported by Living Cookbook, Diet Pro or Bartender's Companion.
  3. Choose MX2 if you are sharing information wth people who use MasterCook 5 or MasterCook 6.
  4. Choose MXP if you are sharing information with people who use MasterCook 4.
  5. Choose Meal-Master if you are sharing information with people who use recipe software other than Living Cookbook, Diet Pro, Bartender's Companion and MasterCook.
