Default .jpg to editable text; how to do? - 02-19-2006 , 12:24 AM






Running Win XP. I have tables consisting of columns---some colums have
short blurbs of text, some numbers. All are neatly arranged in tabular
form. There are three pages of tablular data.

The tables are in 3 separate .jpg files. How do I get this into editable
files so I can work with the data using Word or MSWorks?

I can print 'em out, no problem. They come out looking fine. I then tried
scanning as editable text and graphics, and editable text. Either way
produces gobbledegook. Not a good or useable OCR conversion. What next????
(My scanner is HP 3570c).

What are you using for OCR, something that came bundled with the HP scanner?

Abbyy Fine Reader ver 7 or 8 should be able to handle it.
