scrambled text in word
Hi, my problem is when I try to scan text into a word doc, what I get is not
what I sent. sometimes the sentences are half here and half there and not in order. sometimes the pages are shuffled and merged together, if there are columns scanned they are all merged or else listed in single word per line all down the page. I have tried everything in the help and troubleshooter.I'm running office xp pro with all the updates fixes, converters and tool kits everything else works fine. thank you -- trial & error |

scrambled text in word
Welcome to the flaky world of OCR. I assume that you are using the Microsoft
Office Document Imaging, which is a rudimentary OCR software tool? This has fairly good character reading, but is hopeless with layout and is really only suitable for reading plain typed documents. If you want something more sophisticated then you need better OCR software such as Finereader. However even the best OCR software will struggle with complex documents. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ashu wrote: Hi, my problem is when I try to scan text into a word doc, what I get is not what I sent. sometimes the sentences are half here and half there and not in order. sometimes the pages are shuffled and merged together, if there are columns scanned they are all merged or else listed in single word per line all down the page.
