textbox to normal text
Hi all,
I scanned a document of may pages. The result (a rtf-file) looks fine, but in reality the text I see is not "text in a document" but text in textboxes. I really need this to convert to text "directly in the document", like in any "normal" document. I mean that it will be as if I typed it directly into the document. Of course I could select (highlight) the text in the first textbox and than paste it to a new document (a doc-file), do the same with the text of the next textbox, past it below the first text in the new docment etc. I tried, did it for a lot of textboxes, but it will be very tedious to do it with the whole document because of the many hundreds - maybe thouthands - of textboxes, some of which contain only a single line of text.. Also there is a strange effect, when I try to "control c - control v " the highlighted text of a textbox to the other document, suddenly it is not the text that is copied to the new document, but the whole textbox, and so it just moved the problem from one document to the other one. Can anyone show me a way out? Perhaps with VBA it will be possible to convert all textboxes at once to normal text. I am in very urgent need for advice. Please help. Jack Sons The Netherlands |
