Hello all,

I would like learn how to convert text which is trapped in .jpg format to
.doc format.  I know that it is possible because I sometimes do it with my
scanner in Word 97.  I scan a document and it automatically converts it to a
.doc file, with errors of course.  I can also do it in Caere Page Keeper
3.0, but only when I scan it.

Basically what I want to do is do a screen capture on some text.  Crop it in
an image editor, and then convert it to a .doc file, fix the errors and then
print it.

TIA,
Tim
