I've never encountered that problem. So... it'll probably take a bit more
information to figure out what's going on. For starters: 1. What version of Word are you using? Has it been properly activated (if applicable)? 2. Are you looking at a picture of text from the scanned document, or are you looking at text that was produced using OCR (optical character recognition)? If this is a picture of text, then you can't edit the way you're trying. You'll need to use OCR to convert the picture into actual text. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Burt" wrote in message ...

A scanner will only produce an image of what is being scaned, the software associated with the scanning operation will permit you to save the image in some graphical format (.gif, .itf, .jpg etc. etc). If you wish to use this image as an editable text or word processing document then the image file needs to be processed through an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) package, this may or may not be provided with your scanner software. Please be aware that OCR software is not always 100% accurate and you will have to check the resultant document carefull especially if "fancy" fonts have been used. If there are graphical images in the resume then these will probably have to be scanned separetely and reinserted into the final document. |

Word is unable to edit graphics! As others have told you, you need OCR

I think we might be running into a language problem. If someone speaks
Troll, perhaps they can respond in Burt's native tongue. Otherwise, I don't think he groks OCR. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

Office has an OCR program included. You can use it to create an editable
document from a scanned page.

I've found the the version of Text Bridge that came with my scanner is much
more accurate than ODI's OCR software. For that reason alone I scanned in most of the manual I'm converting to an electronic version at home. As if I don't do enough volunteer work already... ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "gordo" wrote in message ...

Yes - if I didn't truly believe that the hours of work I put in without pay
weren't worthwhile, I wouldn't do it. But I'm convinced that there are people who are grateful for my efforts and that's what keeps me going. -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "gordo" wrote in message ...

Too many negatives in that sentence, but we get the idea.

That's probably because sometimes it's tough to be positive that doing
volunteer work is a good thing. ;-) (I need to remember that next week when I turn in my quarterly report and my annual report to national headquarters.) -- JoAnn Paules Microsoft MVP - Publisher How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 "Suzanne S.

Ditto for misspelled words, cutesy graphics, etc. And somthing I think is a
killer - email addresses like CuteKittie123@ wherever.com or StudlyDoRight@ wherever.com. Create a new account if you have to just to avoid the image it portrays. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ...
