Can't paste French letter

[Michael Makidon]

I am trying to translate a hand written French letter to English. I am able to scan the letter in French & transport it to Microsoft Word or My Documents. However, when I copy the letter & try to paste it (ex. Easy translator, Babylon) for translation to English, I get a blank. I am using Windows XP. Your suggestions would be appreciated....Michael

Did you scan the letter to an image or to text. You need the text to be plain text, not text as an image. Also wise to check for scanning errors before starting a translation as textual errors will make the translation process even more unreliable.


Good Luck, Kees (withing everyone a happy 2007)
