Openbook and Kurzweil have virtual printers that will scan the image as if it were a sheet of paper on the scanner bed and give you the results. I absolutely love that feature included in those programs. Pretty good too, and you don't have to buy some subscription to a service or buy yet another program. Thanks.

You will then be able to open the .txt file in DBT or Word. George.
