From: fireopal on 20 Apr 2010 18:36 I am transcribing from a JPEG into a Word Doc. how do i have them working as a split screen so i can read from one and work on the Word one? I find it very clumsy to have to keep clicking on the JPEG, read what i have to type next and then type it. Its quite a long doc to transcribe. Any help would be appreciated. Liz
From: JoAnn Paules on 20 Apr 2010 18:51 Easiest method: Use a split screen and keep both up at the same time. Not as easy method: Open Paint Open your .jpg file. Save it as a .tif. Close file. Open Microsoft Document Imaging Open your .tif file Click on the icon that looks like a piece of paper and a blue W. This will attempt to "read" the text. You MUST proof-read very carefully. The worse the .jpg, the worse the conversion will be. 1's look like I's, O's like 0's, And those are the easy ones to spot. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "fireopal" <fireopal(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:02F72645-9AB2-485C-9407-C41AEBC1086B(a)microsoft.com... >I am transcribing from a JPEG into a Word Doc. how do i have them working >as > a split screen so i can read from one and work on the Word one?

From: Herb Tyson [MVP] on 20 Apr 2010 20:13 Windows have three states: maximized, minimized, and restored. This is controlled using the _ and box icons in the upper right corner of the window. If you see two overlapping boxes, the window is maximized. If you see a single box, the window is in the "restored" state and can be resized. You can drag the sides & corners to resize any non-maximized program window as desired. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word Bible Blog: http://word.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "fireopal" <fireopal(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:02F72645-9AB2-485C-9407-C41AEBC1086B(a)microsoft.com... > I am transcribing from a JPEG into a Word Doc. how do i have them working > as > a split screen so i can read from one and work on the Word one?

From: Jerry on 21 Apr 2010 17:16 I hate to be retro, but the easiest way to do this is to open the JPEG, hit Ctrl-P, and then pick up the hard copy off your printer and set it on your document stand next to the computer. Then read from the hard copy and type.

That's what I'd be inclined to do as well. -- Suzanne S.
