scan hand written doc to Pub 2002
I have to insert a long hand-written (it is printed, not cursive)
notice to Publisher. I need to be able to edit it so it flows to next columns, etc. OCR lets me edit, but attempts to convert the hand written text to fonts. What a mess. Is there a workaround? Thank you, Jim

You want to scan in a handwritten document and still be able to edit it but
not convert it to a font. You are asking too much. The closes thing to that is to scan it in as a picture and cut the picture apart to fit the available space. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Jim K." wrote in message ...

Your scanned document is a picture, if you want to preserve the integrity of the
text treat it as a picture. Insert the document, copy. Crop up until it fits the space. In the next space, paste, crop down to where you left off in the first insert. And so on... -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Jim K." wrote in message ... I have to insert a long hand-written (it is printed, not cursive) notice to Publisher.

There may be an OCR program that will convert you document to a editable
font document; I don't know of one but it would be a worthwhile search. Try a search for OCR programs and then calls to their support groups. -- Don - Publisher 2000® Vancouver, USA "Jim K." wrote in message ...
