You need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to do what you want, most scanners come with a basic version of said software.Remember kids, it's the volts that jolt and the mills that kill.0

If it's posted on any of the job websites (Monster, etc), they usually give you the option of downloading it for editing.:wall: Flagellation, necrophilia and bestiality - Am I flogging a dead horse? :wall:
