How to stack styles

Windows 7, CO 6.3.3, IQ180 images. How do I stack my style presets so that I can process once and get a 2x3 JPEG and a 4x5 TIFF and an 8x10 TIFF from the same cropped image? I have already set the styles and they do process out properly individually. How do I select all three AT THE SAME TIME? The Stack Styles check box does not seem to matter checked or unchecked.

  Easy. Figured it out myself. Boot CO6.3.3 normally. Fill browser with images from drive 1. Select image to be processed into large palette screen above browser. Edit color as needed. Edit exposure details as needed. Edit resolution and sharpening details as needed. Select the "process" icon. Select "Process Recipes" and label one line as 2x3 JPEG ( or whatever ). Open "Process Recipe" (singular, not Recipes). Select Format, (JPEG), Compression (None), ICC Profile (Adobe 98), Resolution (300dpi), Scale (WidthxHeight), ((Fill in the actual cropped image size desired, 3x2.4)), go up to the "crop" tool above the large palette screen, left click the crop icon, move cursor down to the top left corner of the uncropped image, left click that corner tip ( It will automatically show the 3x2 crop lines), Draw the crop lines as needed (the crop will be 3x2 no matter where you put it or how large/small it gets cropped), move the cursor to the center of the cropped image and drag the box around the image as needed, go to "Styles and Presets", click the "+" in the little box, click "Save", name it properly and repeat all of these steps basically for each of the crop sizes needed. Each of the Recipes will account for one size crop, so you'll need three recipes showing for the three processed crops. When completed, hit "Process" and send it to a test folder in another destination drive for confirmation. Damn I'm good!
