Skip, Thanks for all that detail. It clarifies the situation considerably.
As you did not mention the ABBYY FineReader OCR software, I am imagining you use Windows. Apparently there is a pretty good version of FineReader for Macs, and I think I will keep it in mind if I find myself wanting to read tabular data directly into a spreadsheet. For now to economize, I am likely to keep with the scanned, but not OCR'd files. -- (B=) <-----my sig Brian Schott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
