Recipe Cards for Word

CNET Editors' review

by: CNET staff on July 13, 2011

If your recipe collection is anything like ours, you have magazine clippings, things you've printed from the Internet, handwritten recipes from Mom, and all kinds of other scraps of paper stuffed into a book, binder, or drawer. If you're ready to get your recipes organized--or if you want an easy way to share recipes with friends and family members--try Recipe Cards for Word. This set of Word templates makes it easy to print attractive recipe cards using software you already have.

Recipe Cards for Word is quite easy to use; just open the template in Word, type up your recipes, and print. The templates include an attractive green border with a small graphic depicting some utensils and pans. The cards include space for the recipe title, a brief description, a list of ingredients, and the instructions. There are actually four templates; two that allow you to print individual 3x5 or 4x6 cards, if your printer supports it, and two that print three cards per page on paper or cardstock, which you can then cut out. The templates are really nothing fancy, but they do take all of the hassle out of creating correctly formatted recipe cards. Anyone with basic Word skills should be able to use them to create a nice-looking set of recipe cards, either for yourself or as a gift.

Since Recipe Cards for Word is just a set of templates, there's no installation to mess with or Help file to consult.

Publisher's Description

From Vertex42:

Now you can create, print and organize your recipe cards with this free collection of recipe card templates for Microsoft Word. These recipe cards from Vertex42.com are a great way to share recipes with friends and family. They are very easy to use, and there are many reasons to save an electronic copy of your recipes. For example, when a card gets damaged, you can simply print out a new one. Or, if a friend requests your recipe, you can just email them a copy. (We don't consider emailing a recipe to an individual a violation of the license agreement, but you should be aware that these templates are copyrighted, and other forms of distribution of the electronic files are not allowed. You are welcome to print and distribute the printed copies as much as you want.) The Recipe Cards for Word download is a ZIP file containing multiple templates. The template designs have a great look and feel, and come in 3x5-inch or 4x6-inch sizes. You can print two 4x6-inch cards per page or three 3x5-inch cards per page and then cut them out. Or, you can print the recipes individually on index cards, if your printer will allow that (your printer tray may have an area or slot for cards, postcards, envelopes, etc.). If you are willing to take the time to cut out the cards, printing multiple recipe cards on 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper or cheap cardstock can be a very easy and affordable way to share your recipes. We prefer to print on standard non-ruled 4x6-inch index cards, because (1) the index cards are very inexpensive, (2) there is more room for notes and instructions than on the smaller cards, (3) they fit into our printer more easily than the smaller cards do, and (4) no cutting is necessary. If you decide to print on normal paper, you can laminate the cards after they are printed to help prevent damage from water and food stains.
