If a recipe is loaded into one of your recipe panels and if that recipe already has a text file attached to it you will be asked if you want to load the recipe's text file into the text editor.

If you want a clear editor then click the No button.

The Text Editor will then open containing no text and you may use it like any other editor.(Fig.2)

This text editor will perform all of the normal functions of a simple editor.

The files created by this editor may be loaded into other main stream text software such as Microsoft Word.
