From: Stewart on 2 Jun 2010 10:52 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.

From: Terry Farrell on 2 Jun 2010 11:14 If you use the AR (Adobe Reader) print as a booklet. It prints two pages on each side of a single sheet of A4/Letter paper to create a booklet. That's 104/4 = 26 pages. So why not save the time and print a booklet from AR? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Stewart" <anyone(a)supanet.com> wrote in message news:hu5r6d$nad$1(a)speranza.aioe.org...

From: Jay Freedman on 2 Jun 2010 11:22 If that particular file allows it (which depends on how the instruction file was created), you can click the Tools menu in Adobe Reader, click Select & Zoom, and click Select Tool. The mouse cursor should become an I-beam when positioned over the text area, and you can drag it across & down to select text and pictures. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selection, switch to a Word document, and paste. OCR probably won't be necessary, because the copied text should paste as editable text. The formatting may be different, though. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

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.
