I think you can read them by using the jaws curser and restrict it to that box that the list is in and then when you find the one you want left click on it. There are no check boxes. It is where if you can see you arrow through the list up and down and the one that is highlited is the one that the selections will be for when you tab aroung the dialog. If you can hear them be red when your in the list one at a time while arrowing then the one red is highlited and then just tab around the dialog and do what you wish to do. You might have to use the jaws curser to read the entire dialog box.

It is a combo box with about twenty different selections of programs and file extensions. There didn't however, appear to be any way of selecting them, i.e., no check boxes, etc. I'll go looking again. Having you in my corner has given me a renewed sense of energy and optimism.

The general one is for the software if you run it from the onmie page window.

Enable direct OCR was already checked. I had looked at this before based on reading the manual using Open Book. I'm not entirely sure that this is what you are referring to. _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George B Sent: Sunday, November 09, 2008 3:18 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Omni Page Pro Jeff, Open the onmie program and go and find the prefferances for the program and or the scanner and tell it you wish to scan a new doc when using word. It is set up to look for a pre scanned image by defalt.

I've been using Open Book for many years. It seemed the path of least resistance. If you are blind, you use Open Book. I was never entirely pleased with it and a friend who is a computer access trainer for the VA suggested Omni Page Pro v.16. It allows you to go directly to any of about a dozen programs which you have selected. A menu item has appeared, in MS Word, for example, which tells the program to "acquire text from Omni Page". I had my first version installed by an IT guy and it worked like a dream. I could just click on that menu item, the document would be scanned and it would appear in Word in .doc format. It was fast and extremely accurate. I've set it up on my home pc and when I click on that command I get a box asking me to select a document already on my pc. I've been tinkering with it all weekend to no avail. If anyone has any experience with this OCR program, I would be extremely grateful for any assistance. Thanks, Jeff
