His 2006 post describes a few ocr solutions: http://weblogs.asp.net/jgalloway/archive/2006/10/01/Free-OCR-software_3F00_-You-may-already-have-it_2E002E002E00_.aspx The most important bit is the last link of the article which links to something that will apparently let you automate Microsoft Office Document Imaging which is an OCR tool that comes with Office. Unfortunately that link is now broken. Fortunately! There are a bunch of ocr articles on code project: http://www.codeproject.com/info/search.aspx?artkw=modi ahh how we all love a happy ending :) Susmitha, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
