Highlight a portion of a scanned document.
I scanned a document in from "Insert", "Picture" then "From Scanner or
Camera". Now I want to "highlight" something within the document that I scanned. I know if you have other software (like Adobe Photoshop), you can modify the "picture". I want to only use "Word" tools (I have Word 2003). Is there a way to make the scanned image a "form" and then fill out the form and highlight that? Please help. Thanks, |

Thanks, You need a separate piece of software called Optical Character Recognition (OCR) that "reads" the picture from the scanner and writes a Word document. If you have installed Microsoft Office Document Imaging from the CD, that has a limited OCR capability. Otherwise you'll need to buy something such as OmniPage (http://www.nuance.com/omnipage/) or FineReader (http://www.abbyy.com/finereader_ocr/). -- 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. |
