Scanning OCR Documents into Word 2007 format issue
I am using a document program called Readiris and it is used for scanning
forms and then being able to send into Microsoft Word or Adobe so you can fill out just as you would on a regular typewriter and then print. When I scan using Readiris into Word 2007, the format keeps changing it's not like the format on the original document all check boxes are changed into zeros certain parts are smooched together header is also missing. I checked the settings in Word and do not know how to make the incoming into Microsoft Word the same as original? Can someone help me fix this problem. What settings can I adjust in Microsoft Word. Thank You , Best Regards Dean Johnson |

OCR software isn't perfect. You will rarely (if ever) get exactly what you
think you're going to get. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "DWJ" wrote in message ...

We have not reached the stage of that movie a few years ago where Charlton Heston (?) cannabalized a fax machine to use the sensor to read the numbers scrolling by on a monitor and fed them into the OCR program of a computer to get a password. -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

The actor you mentioned was Harrison Ford, playing a distraught father/IT Chief, in Firewall. |
