Editing (Group/Ungroup) a scanned item
How can I get a scanned item so I am able to edit it? I figured if I
ungrouped the data I could make changes, but I can't select the group/ungroup option. |

If it's text, you have to use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to convert the scanned file (which is just a picture of the text) into editable text. Most scanners include such a program in their software bundle, or you can try the Microsoft Document Imaging program that comes with Office. If it's a graphic object, use a graphics editor such as Microsoft Paint or Paint.Net (a free download from http://www.getpaint.net/) to modify it. Save it as a graphics file (usually .jpg or .gif) and import that into Word. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
