Can I Somehow load a Spread Sheet thru a Scanner
Hi, I am wondering if you guys may be aware of a hardware or a software product that can provide me the capability to put scanned table data in a spread sheet format. For example, I make a Xerox copy of a data table from a book and now I scan it with a scanner. Now an option for me to manually enter that data numbers into spread sheet. So, my question to you is if you may have a software that can actually save me the manual typing of that data into a spread sheet format. Please let me know; any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance !!! Please email me at , if you may have any hints. Thanks.

Must be Xerox's day, because with your scanner, if it is basically
for home use, you would probably have received Text Bridge software. (by Xerox). The better the printed copy the better the results -- it is very hard to align up the sheet, so you will have a lot of corrections to make. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "murashid" wrote in message ...

Hi Murashid,
Try a Google search for OCR software and look, perhaps, at PCWorld. ScanSoft's OmniPage Professional can convert scanned data into a variety of Office formats, including Excel readable data. The major downside with OmniPage is the high cost which effectively places it beyond the reach of all but commercial users. Most scanners are packaged with OCR software, but you would need to check functionality to see if it might be of any use to you. --- Regards, Norman "murashid" wrote in message ...
