    Using Big Oven with Word .doc documents

    I need to be able to put my grocery list, weekly menu and recipes in Word.  Right now, I can do it but can't edit them once in Word, at least to properly put in page breaks etc. so I don't end up with the page breaking in the midst of recipes; rearranging it so I can make it a little more compact, etc.  Is there a way to do this?  What am I missing?


    A related question: if I output to HTML, all I get are GIFs I can't work with.  I don't really need HTML but was trying that as a workaround to get it into Word.

    BigOven doesn't currently support native export to Word, but one workaround you can do is to go into print preview, then use ctrl-a to select the entire print preview window, ctrl-c to copy it to the clipboard, and then paste into Word...

    That's what I've been doing, thanks.  But if I try to put the cursor between recipes and either give it a page break or hit return so that I can get the recipe to print all on one page, I end up loosing half my recipes, for some reason.  Any idea why or what I could do to keep this from happening?


    TIA!
