scanned table
I scanned 1 page of a list/table with an hp 1200 printer/scanner. Is there
any way for me to "edit" this table? Rather than just viewing it as 1 whole item, I would like to be able to ultimately do a mail merge. If this is not the correct forum for such a question, my apologies. Please tell me where I could find help.

You need OCR software to convert the scanned graphic to editable text -
Microsoft's document imaging that comes with recent Office versions (though not installed by default) may do the trick though it is very limited in its capabilities. Check the software bundle that came with your scanner. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org .

Graham - you are a champ! My software did support OCR! it was the (though not installed by default) part that had me messed up. thanks!
