Re: [libreoffice-users] Ambiguous Calc cell status show

Hi :)


Ideally, I would like to get rid of the dependency and do all the work, the web-site's 

and mine, from raw data to have timely results with better control on various parameters.

However, in the meanwhile I can try your idea. 

What are the important softwares for OCR?
I thought they come bundled only when one purchases some scanner.

My system details are given below.

 
Thanks,
Regards,
Viral Orpe :)

Viral, I can't comment on your request with the cursor but got an idea concerning typing numbers 
displayed in a png-file into calc.
Did you consider already using an OCR SW to transfer your numbers into a copy-enabled data form?
