Microsoft Office Document Imaging (Office 2003 and perhaps others) might do the OCR trick for you. Look for it in the START menu on Windows as: Microsoft Office / Microsoft Office Tools / Microsoft Office Document Imaging. Comments from other people about cleanup after conversion applies...

To paste into the Notes the Format must be TXT. Unless you use an Optical Character Reader you cannot change a JPG to TXT. This is rather simplified, but the principle holds. So what can you do? I would (and do) save then to “Files†in Source Detail>Multimedia.

I have a Epson Artisan 810 scanner, Photo Shop, Corel Viewer and other viewers. When I scan the newspaper articles they all work fine, but I can not copy and paste them into a notepad. I tried a jpg extension and a TXT but nothing works. Someone must have solved this problem before and I hope they will help me out.
