2004-07-31 Thread Lynn Chadbourne

2004-07-09 Thread Lynn Chadbourne
A friend gave me a CD of several files to convert to text. Unfortunately, they are scanned image files, each with many pages. I've tried a number of Mac and windoze programs but still end up with a graphic of the text. Is there a "reasonably" easy way to get these graphics into text? (I don
