JP>        Hello Jay, we were saying ! 


JP> JE> Does anybody have any idea how I might accomplish this?

JP>        Well, here is a way for me to get some even. I have a hand
JP>  held scanner that I used to do exactly the same thing, Jay. It will
JP>  scan across the pages and is able to "merge" the sweeps that can
JP>  then be rotated "vertical". You could then use an OCR to turn the
JP>  images into .txt or .doc. Kid yourself not, there is tedious work
JP>  ahead.

JP>        That scanner is free to you.  When ?

Any time you find convenient. See below.


Jean, your message rang my bells. I have had a Logitech Scanman
Hand held Model 256 Gray scale scanner here for years - so many, in
fact, that it only goes up to Windows 3.1 !!! I thought I would never
find it in my messed up - cluttered up storage areas in my garage. Never
even opened the box! It doesn't appear to be usable with XP. The Oldest
Windows I have is 98SE. This one made vertical scans of a page and then
stitched the scans together. The scanner is only 4" wide. Now why on
earth did I keep this thing, unopened, for such a long time??? I guess I
am a pack rat at heart.

Will your scanner work with XP or 98? If so, this would be a rather long
term project for me considering well over 900 pages. Could or rather
would you do without it for several months? If so, I would greatly
appreciate it. So much so, that I'd be more than willing to dance at
your next wedding. :-)
