Yes. You can copy and paste recipes from most programs directly into the text boxes in Heritage Cookbook.

This includes content from:

  • Microsoft Word

  • Google Docs

  • Notes

  • Email

  • Most other text-based programs


How to paste your recipe

  1. Copy the text from your original document.

  2. Open your recipe page in the Content tab.

  3. Click inside the appropriate text field (Ingredients, Directions, etc.).

  4. Paste your text.


Important formatting tips

  • For best results, avoid copying bullet points directly into your recipe.
    Bullet formatting may not transfer cleanly.

  • We also recommend not copying directly from MacGourmet Deluxe, as its formatting can cause spacing or layout issues.

  • If formatting looks unusual after pasting, try pasting as plain text and adjusting spacing manually.


Good to know

  • You can edit and clean up your recipe at any time before placing your order.

  • Preview your book to confirm spacing and layout.

  • Formatting differences on screen may look slightly different in print preview.
