Import and Export Recipes in RCP Format

To export a recipe

1. In the Import/Export dialog box, select Recipe in the Type area, and then select RCP in the Format area.

2. Type the name of a directory or select it from the Directories list.

3. In the Recipe IDs list, select the required recipes.

   Note: The file that is created contains information in a proprietary format. Do not attempt to view or edit the contents.
