Moving All the Recipe Items and Variables

In addition to copying and moving one recipe item or variable at a time, the Recipe Builder enables you to copy and move every recipe item and variable from one recipe to another. When you do this, the Recipe Builder copies the entire row of each item in the spreadsheet. This feature can be useful when you want to copy and paste the entire recipe into a third-party application, such as Excel.

To copy and move every recipe item and variable in a recipe, use the Copy All command. After copying the entire recipe, you can insert them into the target application using the Paste command.

To copy and move an entire recipe from the Recipe Builder to another application:

  1. On the Edit menu, click Copy All. The Recipe Builder copies every row in the recipe.
  2. Start your target application. For instructions on how to do this, refer to that application's user's manual.
  3. Once the application starts, open the spreadsheet you want to paste the recipe into.
  4. On the Edit menu from your spreadsheet program, click Paste.

If you prefer, you can copy and move data from a third-party application (such as Excel) and paste it into the Recipe Builder. For information about moving data from a third-party application to the Recipe Builder, refer to the section Copying Recipe Items or Variables.
