    Hi,

    Does anyone know of a free software that will convert a scanned paper document text into word or other format so it can be copied and pasted without the need to retype the whole paper file.

    The document has been typed in word but we only have a paper copy as the electronic file copy has been lost or deleted.

    Kind regards

    Nah I'm just kidding. I get the same thing as well.

    My sig is !!!!!!ed as well. Looks like the site has tried to retrospectively add a swear filter or something, and its done every word, apart from numbers.

    It's the fallout from dealing with a persistent spammer this morning. :)
