If you are posting it to unknown recipients, then it is presumptuous
to assume they use MS Office. SaveAs RTF and send that.

Of course. Scanning creates a picture of text, not text. OCR will
attempt to translate that picture back into text, but will prolly mess
up. What you are doing is like recoding a CD by holding a microphone
in front of the speaker while you play it back.
>even as a jpeg i should be able to move it from word.
If I recived a CV as a JPEG, or (worse!) a Word .DOC with no text but
a JPEG embedded in it, it would go straightr to trash. I'd consider
the sender to be unemployable in any context involving PCs.
>established window on emplyment sites. there is no e-mail just paste here
Then you need to highlight text *within* the file, and copy and paste
that. If you try to paste the file itself (e.g. from My Computer)
then you will end up with a mess. Fortunately, it won't work, i.e.
you will not succeed in unwittingly sending attachments to the site.
