Hot to copy recipe from Beersmith to post on HBT?

phuff7129 · 02-05-2012, 04:22 PM

I see a lot of threads on HBT where it looks like someone has somehow copied their recipe from Beersmith and posted it on HBT. Whenever you need help you have to post the recipe for someone to know what you have done. I have been doing this manually as I cannot figure out how to copy and paste a recipe from Beersmith. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Click on a recipe (not double click, don't go in to edit). There is a dropdown menu at the top of beersmith, change it to "Text". You will see the recipe preview change to plaint text. Highlight all that you want, right click, click Copy (Ctrl+C doesn't work for some reason). Paste here.

I do what ODaniel does, but I have to say, what the hell is Brad Smith thinking. He's in the forums (and his own). Should be 1 button press and it's on the clipboard.

Once you've selected a recipe, switched the drop-down to "Text", highlighted the desired text range, right-click and select "Copy".

Fingers never have to leave the mouse...

Cheers!
