Re: [libreoffice-users] Scan documents?

Hi :)
Yeh, i think we guessed that you used a scanner rather than a
video-player.

Don't worry!  Many of us have difficulty remembering the names of
whassnames compared to thingumybobs.  Luckily double-clicking or typing in
a bit of a description usually brings up the right tool.  Errr, it's only
Windows where you really need to know the right name and if you are using
xsane and xine then i'm guessing you are either on Gnu&Linux or Mac so you
are safe.  (sorry, couldn't resist the urge to have a dig at W! ;)

Have a good weekend all!
Regards from
Tom :)
