if I scan my recipes into Pages to create my own cookbook am I able to search for a certain recipe

Hi anni,

Scanning a printed recipe produces an image of the printed page.

Find/Replace, which you would use to search a pages document, searches only text.

So to search for specific recipes, you would need to add a text box, containing the recipe's name to the page containing the recipe. With that done, you could press command-F, type the name of the recipe, click Find next (or the > arrow) to jump directly to the box containing that name.

With the current Pages version, I think you can also insert a link to go to any page (or section) of the document. Look up Links in Pages Help (Help menu) for details.

Regards,

Barry
