How do I convert imaged documents to word text?
How do I convert imaged documents to word text? When I convert now, the
entire text within the document is shifted to the left of the page and header info such as company logo is dropped to the bottom of the page. I'm using xp office professional imaging software and sending the info to word. |

The OCR function in Microsoft Office is rudimentary and cannot cope well
with complex documents. Use better OCR software such as Finereader, but note that OCR will often make a dog's breakfast of formatting should you wish to further edit the document. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org RMaurer wrote: How do I convert imaged documents to word text?

Graham:
Thanks for your response. Shortly after I posted my question, I did a search (imaging to word support). Microsoft support indicated the OCR tool in Microsoft imaging does not retain text format styles in Word 2003. They suggested using Scansoft software and a couple of others.
