Hi Don!

I don't have any problem with the process here. However just don't expect it
to maintain formatting when you paste your results into Word ()or anything
else). It seems to me that is the fly in the ointment.

Trouble is we're often unintentionally ignorant of the disappointment we may
be setting up. If you think you've succeeded in those steps, I suspect next
attempting to braille the resulting document will quickly prove what I'm
saying, hi hi.

73,
Dave

Jose have you actually tried that.

In my experience that technique doesn't work for the OCR text in jaws even
though you think it would.

I have had to resort to setting up a printer driver and setting the printer
driver to print to file.

That was the only way I could get it to work and believe me I know how to
copy and paste grin!
