Hi Double Eagle, If you have Microsoft Office XP and up, there is an Office document scanner and reader packaged in the Microsoft Office Tools directory in your start menu.
Ideally, if the files are already scanned, you would open up the reader, then use the open dialog box to open the TIFF file, and, I believe under the file menu, or under the tools menu in later versions, there is a choice to send the text to word, at which point a dialog box will open up where you can select which pages, or all pages to convert, then tab to the ok button, and Word will open up with the OCR from the TIFF file. Sorry for the vague description, but since I don't know what you have, in terms of word processing, then I can't advise you exactly how to do it. Another option would be to open it using Adobe reader or acrobat, and converting the image after you've performed an OCR scan of the document. Yet another option is to use Nuance's OmniPage Pro, or another OCR package or program that will perform OCR on the image. Short of that, I believe that's all you can do. A more accessible and more expensive way is to purchase Kurzweill 1000, or Open Book, and use their respective abilities to receive faxes and read them, but as you said you are a cheap man, your words, not mine, Smile, this doesn't seem the way to go.
