[nabs] scanning documents questions

[Anita Adkins]

Yes, but you have to have a scanner that scans in text files and not just 
images.  I went to Walmart back before I learned better and bought a regular 
scanner, but I didn't know to make sure I could just scan text with it. 
Unfortunately, it only scanned images, and so be sure to look at the 
scanner's manual, or if buying a new one, check it out before buying it.  I 
have a client who uses a regular scanner to scan like this.  Your scanning 
software, I believe, that comes with your scanner, should allow you to have 
this option.  It has been a while since I set hers up, and so I am a little 
fuzzy on the subject at the moment.  Just FYI.  Anita
