Back to TOC Making scanned text editable You can make text on a scanned image editable. The optical character recognition (OCR) program converts the text to be editable and then places it in a supported word-processing program. Depending on the capabilities of the word-processing program, graphics on a scanned image might be retained or discarded, or the OCR program might try to convert them and they will appear as random characters. Tip If a block of text appears in Microsoft Word or another word-processing program inside a frame you do not want, double-click the frame border and click Remove Frame or a similar command. Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro 75 1 Choose Scan To from the Scan menu. 2 Choose Text File from the Destination pull-down menu, and then click Scan. 3 Select a text or text-and-image file format in the Format pull-down menu, and then click Save. See "List of file types" on page 62. 4 If the program you select accepts multipage files, you might be asked if you have more pages to scan to this file. Do one of the following: l If this is a one-page item, click Done. l If there are more pages of this item, load the next page in the scanner and click Scan on the computer. Repeat until all pages are scanned. Then, click Done. The OCR program opens and creates editable text from the scanned image. Note: You can also save a scanned image and import the image into your OCR program. See "To save a scan for future processing in an OCR program" on page 61.
