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 :)

Hi.
I have scanned to file with xine and then used OCR to convert the image to
text I can then edit in LO.

Is it possible to scan an older printed document directly into LO?

I have an old 2 page document that I want to reproduce and modify with LO
but
don't find any entries in the menus for scanning directly into LO.  This
is in
a Linux system and would probably use xine for the scanning.

I suppose I could scan into a pdf and bring that into LO but would prefer
to
work on an *.odt format.

Thanks, Tom  list moderator
