Justification Right Question
I scan deed documents (all documents are left and right justified with the
exception of the indentation of paragraphs). After scanning, I need to edit the document but Microsoft Word 2003 seems to have lost the justification (right margin). How can I retain the left and right margins to be the same as the original document? -- don |

How can I retain the left and right margins to be the same as the original document? Your argument really is not with Word but with the optical character recognition (OCR) software that's converting the scanned picture into text, which is where the formatting is getting lost -- but if you're getting anything even close to reasonable from the OCR, you're doing better than most. Select the text that should be justified and press Ctrl+J. If the line endings are different from those in the original, you may be able to make it better by dragging the right margin in or out slightly (use the marker on the ruler, and press the Alt key to get finer control). -- 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. |
