Q: My iPhoto book says that I have unedited text, but I can't find it. How can I search for it and find it in my iPhoto scrapbook?

I am using iPhoto on a MacBook air, Yosemite operating system. I tried to order a photo book I have made, but there is a warning stating that I have unedited text, which I think means the nonsense text that comes up when you highlight a text block. I cannot find this unedited text that they say I have. How can I find it in my book and eliminate it? Thanks.

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Go thru each page in the book and in those text boxes you see nothing or don't want text just put a space. That will get around the warning.

I have already done this several times. On the screen my book looks exactly as I intended it to look. It was impossible to see anything wrong, so I have sent it away for printing. I was hoping that maybe there was a way to 'search' that would identify the 'default' text that I was unable to see when looking for it myself.

Did you create a PDF preview file of the book to check for any errors? Here;'s how: Preview a print project in Photos, iPhoto, or Aperture to avoid issues - Apple Support

Save the pdf file to compare to the printed copy when it arrives.
