Yes, sorry, that is what I meant too. Meaning he is *not* doing a true OCR from an image - just converting from the PDF file with some software (like I do). At least, I hope that is the case! Going to Word from a scanned-in image (printed from the PDF) would be quite an unusual way to do this! > Pedants 'r Us :-) :) :) Z
