Next:  Goes to the next recipe in the collection.

Prev.:  Goes to the previous recipe in the collection.

Find:  This will search the entire collection for a specific word or word segment.  For example, if you want to do a search for all the recipes with chocolate in them, you can click 'Find', then enter "Choc" or "Chocolate" in the field for ingredients.  Once found, you can then use the "Next" and "Prev." to search though the matching "Chocolate" recipes.

Here is a listing of extras found only in recipe printouts:

From The Kitchen Of:  This menu is set to to print the User Name, so that when you give a recipe to a friend, they know they received it from you.  In case there is a problem with the pre-entered User Name on your Mac, you can change it to anything you desire.  Simply select "Preferences..." under the File Menu, and choose to enter a custom User Name.

Recipe No.:  This displays the record number, or recipe number for printing. It simply makes it easier to go directly to a specific recipe, after you've already printed it out.

Today's Date:  Added to know the exact date that the recipe was printed out.  This date is pre-set according to the date. You do not have to enter this in by hand.
