From: Stewart on 3 Jun 2010 11:20 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.

From: Yves Dhondt on 3 Jun 2010 14:31 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.

From: Stewart on 4 Jun 2010 07:11 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.

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. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Stewart" <anyone(a)supanet.com> wrote in message news:9EED6E14-1C04-4D75-A926-FF930566E63A(a)microsoft.com...
