Hi Deborah:
Hmmm, you've just sold your house, and I've just acquired one; a condo
actually, but that's "a whole nuther story", as they say.
Anyway, to amplify on Catherine's comments, you can address this problem
with Kurzweil, assuming you have it. Press "alt P", then arrow down until
you hear "kesi virtual printer".
Take care!
John

Hi Deborah and the list,
Deborah, if you have OpenBook, I think V. 6 or higher, you're in luck.
Kurzweil may do something similar -- I don't know. But in Adobe, if you get
that message, you can hit control P for print, and look at the choices you
have for printers to send it to. You'll likely see whatever printer you
have hooked up to your system. But if you have OpenBook installed, you
should also see something called "freedom import printer." Hit enter on
that, and OpenBook should automatically launch and apply OCR to the
document, which is most likely an image. You'll then be able to read the
document from within OpenBook.
Some documents do better than others with this. Documents in weird tabular
formats don't work so great, but straight text usually works pretty well.
I
f all else fails, write the person/people who sent you this stuff, tell them
it's inaccessible, and ask if they can send it to you as a Word or txt file
instead. Hope this helps.
Catherine
