If you have open book or similar then use that to scan the document -
equally you can print to Microsoft office Document Image Writer instead
of a physical printer and then use Microsoft Document Imaging to OCR it.
(This was described a couple of weeks ago on the list). I agree with the
previous poster by the way - there is no text in the document that JAWS
can read directly.

HI, I bin having a problem with adobe 8 it told me to download the new 
version but when I did it said that could not do it. Also it said that I
had 
to get rid of the old version and I tried to do this and can not get it
off 
my computer it's still in my control panel and will not let me  unload
it. 
The thing keep saying something about a patch.. So I can not put in the
new 
version or the old version now have any one else had this happen to
them?? 
Any help would be  welcome...
