Default Is it possible to detect...

No but you could (probably) extract it with OCR.

I am however having difficulty understanding why this matters. It shouldn't
matter a jot whether the text is type, pasted or whatever as long as the end
result is the same. *Anything* can be copied. The (often minor) difficulty
is in reproducing the copy to match the original. In the case of Word, paste
special as unformatted text, should give results identical to typed text,
and there is no way of determining whether it was typed or pasted.

I hesitate to reply, but in the bizarre circumstances you describe, where
specific text must be entered in a document, it is possible that there are
non-display characters in the original text that could get copied across,
although they should all be visible if you set Word to display everything.
That said, I don't believe you can copy text from a jpeg, so it is all
moot.

Dear sir/Madam,
Actually i am not trying to cheat any body, i am trying to be fair with
my
client.

First of all thanks for your needful reply, if it is not possible for me
to
detect, is it possible to any software or programmed servers to find
that?
Actually why i am asking more specifically because, i am a freelancer and
two
boys works for me from remote place and they the will have to perform
some
manual typing tasks given by me, in which they will have to type text on
any
jpg file into word doc manually, this is the strict requirement of my
client
too. So i have a doubt weather they are typing manually or using any
conversion s/w. Anyways finally they will send content filled word docs
to me
through mails and i will have to send these docs to my client, if anyway
my
client recognizes that those doc files have not been typed manually, he
will
cut my deal.This is the problem actually i am facing. So will it be
possible
for my client to find that those files have not been typed manually,
using
any software or would any information be available behind the word codes
which are not seen by common mans like me.
Thanks.
