I think that Georgina is suggesting that the document could be an image of a page of writing. Putting it through an OCR would be like scanning a printed version.

I am told that it is an untagged two page document Any ideas why this is happening, how can I resolve it, or thirdly, how might the original be constructed in a better form.
