There's no MS function to perform OCR. So you'll have to see if OpenBook has the ability to import PDF files. Or you can go on the web and search for an online service.

Hi,

I also get attachments that say empty document.  I understand that these
are most likely a scanned document.  I am not understanding what to do
next.  Do I open the document and then look for a MS function that will
convert it to a PDF?  If so how is that done?  WE does fine reading a
PDF, so if that works problem solved.  I have had luck printing the
document and then using a KNFB reader to get it to read.  I too have a
very old version of open book.  Without a scanner can you use it to
convert to text?

Sorry for the questions, but scanning is becoming a more usual way of
getting copies of documents.  Your help would be appreciated.

Best
