I've never printed directly from Meal Muncher so that part never bothered me. I
*always* export the recipe to my favourite plain-text editor (in my case PFE-32
(Programmer's File Editor a freeware program)). Then I add any notes I need
that don't need to be in the database and print from there with a <CTRL>P.

Rather like my practice of sending the recipe file to a PFE file.

Good luck - I've no experience with Q-book. Just Meal Master and Master Cook.

I don't really have to worry too much about it. I bought an HP
small-form-factor refurb from NewEgg and upgraded the W7 to XP. Meanwhile, my
friend's son figured out what was wrong with my trusty Dell - seems the AVG
anti-virus went mad and wrapped itself around the axles.

      Title: Editor's Favourite Thai Fish Sauce & Lime Chicken
 Categories: Oriental, Poultry, Nuts, Citrus, Sauces
      Yield: 4 Servings
 
     24 oz Chicken meat; skinned, boned
    1/4 ts Salt
      1 tb Oil
      1 c  Chicken broth
      3 tb Sweetened chilli sauce
      2 ts Fish sauce
    1/4 c  Fresh lime juice
      1 ts Creamy peanut butter
      2 tb Chopped roasted peanuts
           Lime wedges (opt)
 
  Sweetened chilli sauce is found in Asian markets, and it is
  often served alongside egg rolls. A similar condiment
  available in most grocery stores is called Thai sweet red
  chile dipping sauce.
  
  Place chicken between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap;
  pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling
  pin. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  
  Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add
  chicken; cook 6 minutes on each side or until done. Remove
  chicken from pan; keep warm.
  
  Add broth, chilli sauce, and fish sauce; bring to a boil,
  scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cook until broth
  mixture is reduced to 2/3 cup (about 4 minutes). Remove from
  heat; add lime juice and peanut butter, stirring until
  smooth. Serve sauce over chicken; sprinkle with peanuts.
  
  Garnish with lime wedges, if desired.
  
  Serve this chicken with white rice.
  
  Yield: 4 servings
