JoAnn, that is what I had in mind; to use the snipping tool (windows 7) and
then use MS Word 2007 but I do not know how to get it to read a screen shot using OCR. The long way round would be to print the bits I want from Adobe Reader, then scan back in and use OCR to get into word format. That is cumbersome. The camera is Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS10 and on first use it seems to be a beauty. I still have my older cameras, A Zeiss Contarex single lens reflex (too heavy now), a Nikon underwater (no longer use) and an Olympus compact (heavy for my pocket) so I can make comparisons. Thanks again. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote in message ...

The Panasonic instruction manual is security protected and will not permit me to copy however as you have suggested I can print the pages I want. My idea of using "Word" was to condense the parts that I wanted and have a small compact note to go in the camera pouch. Thanks again. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... To add to what the others have said, although you can certainly print the entire manual as a booklet or copy selected text to a Word document, have you considered just printing specific pages of the PDF through Adobe Reader? -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Stewart" wrote in message ... I have just bought a new camera and the instructions are printed (on screen) in Adobe Reader; there are 104 pages. I wish to copy the pages I need in to a word document and then modify and print what I want. Is there any way I can use Word 2007 to do this? I remember reading that Word has an OCR capability but do not know if this would work from the Adobe Reader screen. Thank you. |

Security in pdf is overrated, it's just a suggestion for pdf viewers to
implement such a thing. There exist viewers which completely ignore all security settings. Downside is, they are mostly viewers on linux based systems, not Windows.

Finereader OCR software would extract whatever you select in the document to
a Word document, It even comes with a screenshot reader applet that allows you to copy anything you see on screen to a Word document (or a whole raft of other places). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Stewart" wrote in message ...

Graham, I have now installed Microsoft Office Document Imaging and that
enables me to scan with OCR a document into Word; the draw back is that the image has to be in TIFF format so again it is a bit cumbersome. The copied document no longer had its format so I have to do that myself. "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...

If you open the saved TIFF in something like the Free IrfanView, you can convert it to any graphics format. IrfanView supports over 100 graphic formats.

That's why I suggested Finereader
Finereader is a fully functional OCR package which handles PDF directly, whereas MODI isn't and doesn't -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Stewart" wrote in message ...
