The Yahoo Group has a file for converting recipes. I don't remember what
it's called or even if the free ware is even still available, but if you
ask on that forum, someone will be able to help you.

I have found that the "tool" called "import assistant" is very helpful
for adding text recipes. You do a "copy" of your text recipe then paste
it into "import assistant" If the recipe is formatted properly, it's a
one-button operation. If not, you can make the changes (usually line
spacing) in the assistant then import over the sections one at a time.

I have recipes that I have gotten here or even on non-recipe fox
compatible web sites that I just copy and paste to the "import
assistant" and pop them right into my cookbooks.
