Hi,
I am wondering if you guys may be aware of a hardware or a softwar
product that can provide me the capability to put scanned table dat
in
a spread sheet format. For example, I make a Xerox copy of a data tabl
from a book and now I scan it with a scanner. Now an option for me t
manually enter that data numbers into spread sheet. So, my question t
you is if you may have a software that can actually save me the manua
typing of that data into a spread sheet format. Please let me know; an
help is appreciated. Thanks in advance !!! Please email me a
(e-mail address removed), if you may have any hints.
Thanks.

Typically (well, at least with my last 2 scanners) the software program
that came with the scanner had/has the ability to convert the scanned
image into text and save files in a variety of formats or transfer the
data to a variety of programs (XL, Word, etc.) You should look into
the capabilities of the software that scans the data. Hopefully, it
also includes the ability to convert the scanned image into
text/numbers and save the results in at least a text file.

Remember to check the responses to the multipost in .excel,
..excel.charting, .excel.misc, .excel.newusers, .excel.programming, and
..excel.worksheet.functions. And, that's only the NGs I checked.
