MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / June 2005OCR into excel sheets
Hi all! I've noticed that this group has some very helpful experts. Here's one for you. I am trying to import a scanned document into excel using scanning software called Paperport and a Brother MFC 3420-C. I am getting nowhere. Is OCR some extension of excel (2000) or am I in the wrong newsgroup? Al OCR is Optical Character Recognition. It's a feature of SCANNING software, not Excel. I like ReadIris, myself. ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com > Hi all! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Al > Hi all! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Al Other than Excel 2000, I am not sure what you have. I will go over what I can do. You can try to adjust recognizing that there may be some functions lacking in your system. If you just want an image, in Excel 2003 you can just insert a picture from Insert, Picture, Scanner. For editable text. I can scan an image from a Cannon LiDE 80 scanner into Paperport 10 {SP-1}. Then I can drag the image to the Excel icon at the bottom {or use File, Send to, Excel} to start the OCR process and insert text into Excel 2003. I also have OmmiPage 14 {SP-2} installed which can add to the capability of Paperport 10. Don Much appreciate your input, Don.. I think that's what I tried, but did not get editable text. Will try again. BTW am trying to have the data from a financial report placed in an orderly way onto the spreadsheet, not just a picture, though that is something I'd like to learn too! .

As I stated, OmniPage 14 does add capability to Paperport. I do not know the effect of that addition to working with Excel. Paperport 10 has a Help link to Sansoft Technical Support. I have found their technical papers {free to use} useful. Sansoft does charge about $10 US for email support. Don > Much appreciate your input, Don..
