From: Graham Mayor on 24 Jan 2010 06:00 No but you could (probably) extract it with OCR. I am however having difficulty understanding why this matters. It shouldn't matter a jot whether the text is type, pasted or whatever as long as the end result is the same. *Anything* can be copied. The (often minor) difficulty is in reproducing the copy to match the original. In the case of Word, paste special as unformatted text, should give results identical to typed text, and there is no way of determining whether it was typed or pasted. -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "Tony Jollans" <My forename at my surname dot com> wrote in message news:uagHj6NnKHA.1548(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >I hesitate to reply, but in the bizarre circumstances you describe, where >specific text must be entered in a document, it is possible that there are >non-display characters in the original text that could get copied across, >although they should all be visible if you set Word to display everything. >That said, I don't believe you can copy text from a jpeg, so it is all >moot. > > -- > Enjoy, > Tony > > www.WordArticles.com > > "indiana via OfficeKB.com" <u57718(a)uwe> wrote in message > news:a294ebb474335(a)uwe... >> Dear sir/Madam, >> Actually i am not trying to cheat any body, i am trying to be fair with >> my >> client. >> >> First of all thanks for your needful reply, if it is not possible for me >> to >> detect, is it possible to any software or programmed servers to find >> that? >> Actually why i am asking more specifically because, i am a freelancer and >> two >> boys works for me from remote place and they the will have to perform >> some >> manual typing tasks given by me, in which they will have to type text on >> any >> jpg file into word doc manually, this is the strict requirement of my >> client >> too.

I don't think that this is appropriate. These people have jpegs (scans) of documents that must be turned into editable text by typing in what they see and not by pasting in the text as pictures. I don't think they are trying to stop plagiarisms. Terry "Flip" <flipatkonitechpuntnl> wrote in message news:#$exItbnKHA.5464(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > Hello, > Many schools use software for this.
