Is the lack of a floppy drive pertinent to what you ask about below?

Sorry, but I find it very difficult to understand exactly what you're
trying to say here.

Your problem appears to be that you have a printed resume and you're
trying to scan it so you can have an electronic version to paste into
Word to send to prospective employees.

If that's the case, realize that you can hardly ever just scan a
document, turn it into text, and paste it somewhere while still
retaining the formatting.

When you scan a document, you end up with a picture of the text, not
the text itself. To turn that picture into real text, you need
software called Optical Character Recognition (OCR, for short). The
OCR software recognizes the pictures of the letters (with *some*
degree of accuracy; 100% is never guaranteed) and generates the
appropriate letters.

Many scanners come with OCR software. Did yours? Which particular OCR
program? Did you use it?

After you've scanned the document and "OCRed" it, you have to
proofread to correct any errors (at least a few are likely), and then
edit the results in your word processing program (Word) to put back
the formatting that was almost certainly lost.

rwell. iI am startimg to realize that a scanned doc is a photo of typed
document,so i used my default program for an OCR document omni-page came with

home premium. two problems . one being my e-mail is no longer supported(which
is msn premium,a microsoft product) and two being , I have a resume in an OCR
format and cannot move it (paste) it onto an employers webpage, the page
says "paste your resume here. make sure it is properly formatted. that is
impossible,and that is my problem . why can't we just use snail mail, my
printer works so well,and i am quite adept at stamps and envelopes!!!!! can
you help?

I am again having great difficulty understanding you. Please rewrite
the above with conventional spelling, punctuation, and grammar, and
write very slowly and carefully. Try to make it extra easy for those
trying to help you. If your native language isn't English, perhaps
what you wrote would be acceptable, but if you are an English speaker,
please write clearly.

I think he should just fax his resume if he wrote it himself. Or if he had it
prepares by a resume service, he should ask for and electronic copy on CD and
then he could just fax the resume file instead of trying to convert a paper copy
into an document file.

you answered my question. next time i hope i can ask my question in a more
aapropriate manner. sorry my grammar and puntuation were not up to your
standards. i wish computers and software were easier to use then i would not
have to bother you with my stupid questions and bad grammar. yes. I speak
english, I don't speak computer,there was no need to criticize my last post,I
don't do this often and find all this computer talk difficult to grasp. I
thought these forums were for us to learn things, not to be told by people
like you, how stupid we are!

I had this written for me ,it was mailed to me on a floppy.someemployers do
let you fax,but many want it copied and pasted. i have been having a problem
copying and pasting this. I guess I will have to get an external floppy or
re-type it myself. now all I have to do I guess is learn how to use word.

Don't you have a friend that can burn it to CD for you? Also, places like
Kinko's have rental computers that you can do this, or they can do it for you.
Frequently places that do copying have this burn to CD service.

Don't the employers want a document file and not a fax?
