HI Ted and the group.  I'm currently trying to read an old newspaper edition 
that was scanned in at my formerly local library in Michigan with very 
limited success, and cannot make sense out of anything.  I don't know if it 
is because of the way it was scanned in or not, but interestingly Adobe 
Reader does not indicate that it is a blank document like it usually does 
with a scanned document.
