TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
We've been presented with a bit of a problem: Legacy reference documents
without their corresponding electronic files :-(. A lot of them :-( :-(
So... we're looking into getting a scanner and some OCR software and I was
counting on the list to do its usual bang-up job with recommendations on
both the scanner & the software ;-)
We use PC's (486 dx/66 w/16MB) and both Word 2 & 6.
That's your mission. Looking very forward to hearing what you all think.
Bill Bledsoe coming to you from the beautiful home office of
A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. in rainy downtown St. Louis, where the view
from the
Systems Administration Center is filled with enough work to keep even the
most eager
Technical Writer at work for years to come. (Glad to hear ya
on the
'net Mr. D. Dimock sir)
