Anton Redman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 The only time I needed one to grab text I used 'simple OCR' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russethouse Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks, in the end I found the instructions to use 'Microsoft Document Imaging' and save it from there - then I had to go through and check it against the text (which was partly in French) and make sure it was Ok - better than typing it in though !!
