Greetings. I run JFW5, XP and Word XP. On my old computer I had no problems with using the OCR acquire text option in Omnipage 9. Post XP, I updated the HP scanjet 6300 software and upgraded Omnipage to V. 12. I can't get the acquire text option to work from Word, and the latest is the scanner doesn't work atall even though the lights are on. I'm on the verge of buying a new scanner to accommodate Omnipage but nothing new is on their compatibility list. Any advice is appreciated. gwc -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
