HELP!!! Just like there is a way for Word Microsoft to have a document scanned and then convert it to text to save time from rewritting/retyping it, I want to know if there is a way for pages? If so, please tell me at least step by step. thank you.

Converting a scanned doc to editable text is normally done by OCR software which would often be provided with your scanner. It is not part of the OS or word processor app.
Hi penguin,
You might try PDF OCR X, a drag and drop application for OS X. The 'community' version is free, but is limited to single page PDF documents. The 'enterprise' version removes that limitation, but costs $30 (US).

PS: Please don't use all bold (and enlarged) type for your messages. It slows down reading.

Which version of Microsoft Word?
That's news to me.
Acrobat and several other programs will OCR text. Often there is a program delivered with your printer. Definitely Hewlett Packard has one.
