Thanks, I need that, too. I don't have to buy a typewriter after all. A friend of mine cleaned up my scanned signature so now all I have to do is to insert my signature into my text. james.homme@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: Hi, If you have the full installation of Microsoft Office 2003, it also has a utility that will recognize a TIF (text image file) which just about all scanning packages produce. Normally, you would find the facility under Microsoft Office Tools. It's called Microsoft Document Imaging. You can recognize a scanned image and send it to Word and save it in a few formats.

Did you know that the Professional version has a special recognition feature that will take unrecognizable files which a screen reader like Zoom Text cannot read and rescan them with an OCR program so that the Adobe program can recognize the images? The screen reader still cannot recognize the images but the Adobe program can read it out loud with its read out loud feature. This recognition feature is not built into the free Read-Only program, as far as I know. The Professional version is extremely expensive (over $400) but the Professional version for students only costs, I have been told, about $100. Amazing!
