| | Copy / Paste from Word This is probably stupid ! I have scanned a document into Word, saved it as a Word document, I cannot find a way of editing this document or use the Copy / Paste facility. I can print it out - that is all. Any ideas please. |

| | Re: Copy / Paste from Word When you scan a document, you are scanning an image of the document and saving it. It's like a photograph - you cannot edit or change it. In order to extract text from the document you would need to use an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program to read the scanned image and extract text. Check your scanner documentation to see if such was provided with your scanner. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] rgharper@xxxxxx * NEW!
