Frequently Asked Questions about MenuPro
What size menus can I
create?
Any size. 8.5x11, 8.5x14, 11x17, A4, A5, or
any custom size - whatever paper size your printer can handle.
Unlike word processing templates, MenuPro Menu Styles are not dependent on
paper size, so you can use any Menu Style with any size paper.

Can I print daily
specials with MenuPro?

specials menus because it keeps all of your food items in a list. When
you're ready to create your specials menu, you simply select from the
list; there's no need to retype.

What kind of printer do I need?
Any printer that is compatible
with Windows. It can be color, black & white, ink jet, or laser. The
better printer you have, the better your menus will look. If you don't
have a good printer, you can create a PDF menu file and take it to
Kinko's for
high-quality output.

What version of Windows do I need?
XP or Vista. Other
systems supported are Windows 2000 and 2003 Server.

Can I install MenuPro on more than one computer?
Yes. The standard
MenuPro CD package comes with a 2-PC license which allows you to activate and
legally use MenuPro on 2 computers. If
you need to use MenuPro on more than 2 PCs, you can either
deactivate your primary or secondary computer first before activating the
new computer, or you can add another PC to your license.

Can I put my restaurant
logo on my menu?
Yes. For just a few dollars
Kinko's or your local
print shop will scan your logo for you and give you back a logo file that
you can then use with MenuPro. If you own a scanner you can do it
yourself.
