This would appear to be a problem with the quality of the scan/capability of
the OCR software that is being used. Nothing to do with Word. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.

Doug's answer is somewhat correct in that it's assuredly NOT a WORD problem, howeverer. . . I do daily and extensive OCE scanning with a crappy $50 Canon scanner utilizing Omni Page 9.0. Did you save the scanned doc as UTF or a standard format? OCR quality is deteremined by many more variables than the scanner and software. 1) when's the last time you cleaned both sides of your scanner glass? a) likley never 2) most new scanners are being shipped with a residue build-up on the under-side of the glass. It's shabby quality control. 3) The quality of the material that you are scanning from? a) is the paper aged or discolored? b) Are you attempting to OCR and inkjet printed document? c) there are many more variations in quality of materials. 4) Did you let the scanner warm-up before the actual OCR scan. a) Most scanners require a preview scan and some scanners offering a setting to determine the length of time for warm-up. 5) OCR like most everything else has a learning curve. There is a scanner NG were these items and more are discussed: comp.periphs.scanners you may also view the archives at: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...scanners?hl=en |
