Did the scanner come with OCR software? (optical character recognition) Most of them do, and it converts "pictures", as you so rightly call them, into some sort of text document that can be handled by any word processing program.
If you didn't get an OCR program, maybe hunt around a bit on the net. There's bound to be some out there.
I'm the guy who asked about over quota on email, and caught a little flack for asking the wrong kind of question. Sorry, but after a week of confusion it was you guys that helped. So I'm going to risk asking another questionable question. I thought I could fill out a form with my clamshell ibook much the same as I use too with a typewriter. (I'm working with mac os x 10.3.9) So I scanned the form; but I can't figure out how to fill it out. It's like trying to type over a picture. I've probably got over 40 hours into this now and it's not so much the specific form as it is learning how to do this type of task. I've even downloaded a trial version of bbedit 8.2. But I'm lost and it seems I've asked everybody and only gotten blank stares as a result. Is it possible to do what I'm trying to do? And if so could someone please tell me how?
Sincerely,
Dennis
P.S. Thanks to everyone who helped with the over quota thing. You made it simple.
