Publishing

 

 

Can NYC publish a cookbook to Open Office or Google Docs (any system other than Microsoft Word)?

 

Not directly.  However, NYC users have told us:

1) OpenOffice can open Word documents without any intermediary conversion needed.

2) If you upload a Microsoft Word file to your Google Drive and then double-click on it to open it, the file is automatically converted to Google Docs format (the upload file function is found in the "New" menu).

 

Can I publish a cookbook with each recipe starting a new page?

 

Yes.  When you use File… Publish Cookbook… and select a cookbook for publishing, NYC asks you to select a template format for the output file.  On this template window there is a checkbox ‘one recipe per page’ in the lower left corner that you can check to make each recipe start on a new page.  Please recognize that this will significantly increase the published file size compared to using the unchecked default option where the recipes within a category are run one right after another.

 

Can I use NYC to create a pretty, publishable cookbook?

 

While NYC has numerous printing options for recipes and cookbooks, NYC is no replacement for a modern word processor like MS-WordTM or WordPerfectTM.  These word-processors have sophisticated desktop publishing features like table of contents, index, page and section numbering, and multilayered text and graphics capabilities.  We recommend that you use NYC to find, sort, categorize, and otherwise organize the recipes for your publishable cookbook, then export the recipes to a text file that can be opened with your word-processor to add cool indexes, table of contents, etc.

NYC v5.75 and higher includes a File… Publish Cookbook… option that will publish your NYC cookbook to a Microsoft Word document using formatted templates (*.dot).  This is the best and easiest way to create a publishable cookbook.
