How do I edit a document that has been sent via email as picture?
I'm trying to edit a doc someone has sent to me for editing, but it's on a
letterhead, and looks like it's scanned (when I dbl click on it, it brings up the "picture" tool box). Is there a way to convert it to an editable text file and save the formatting? I do have the same program by which it was created by the other party. I want to save the background letterhead too, the template for which I do not have on my computer. Thanks! |

You would need optical character recognition (OCR) software to do that. If
you're using a recent version of Office, Microsoft Office Document Imaging can do OCR (although, not perfectly, IMO). Check in Programs - Microsoft Office - Microsoft Office Tools. If you don't see it, then it's possible that you either did not install it, or that you have an older version of Office. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Word-wrangler Warren" Word-wrangler wrote in message ...
