Sounds kinda strange.
I guess the next thing I'd try is doing a search on your disk for the
specific file name, and after finding it, copy the path from the entry
in the search list, and then doing the path copy and paste and opening
it up in Virtual bew, and making sure you are using the OCR option..
I can't think of why you should end up converting the contents of the
email message unless virtual view is some how converting the email
message itself. And if that is the case, then maybe opening the .JPG
file from the search results might be the way to go.
Good luck, and HTH,
Larry

Larry, I did try that initially which is what prompted my inquiry. For
some reason, when I opened the Jpeg, all I heard was the text of the
email which contained the Jpeg, nothing from the Jpeg itself.

Donald,
Why don't you just try putting it through the process and tell us
what happened? Or, maybe you have already don so?
You never know with 'puters, experience tells us, but there really
should be no difference. After all, the .PDFs are often nothing but
images in series, as far as I know anyway. And considering where when
the .PDF is Primarily text that scanning isn't necessary, than an
image file rather it be a .JPG, or a graphic .PDF should make no
difference. But just run it through the process and see what happens.
I went looking for a .JPG to give it a try myself, but don't have any
on my hard drive at present.

An acquaintance sent me a Jpeg which contained text she wanted me to
read. I know how to O C R other files containing images of text, but
isn't the process different if it is a Jpeg rather than something
like a PDF?
Thanks.
