Adobe Acrobat Standard or Pro will do OCR. (recheck to make sure)
Each of these cost $200-$400. Not the free edition.
Hopefully you'll find something less expensive.

I recently bought Office 2003 because it will do some things that O won't. I make lots of forms, and in Open Office it doesn't recognize lines and said there wasn't anything on the page(!) so it wouldn't print it unless I added at least one letter at the beginning and again at the end.
I tried the later versions of Office, but I didn't like the many weird icons and spent most of my time trying to find what I wanted.
I'm glad you're happy with it.

I have finally reached a point where I can say Yipeee. I've had a long hard struggle learning to walk again getting by memory loss the stroke that caused all this the kidney failure. I put on shoes today I haven't been able to wear in 2 years, plus a pair of heels not spikes mind you but about 2 inches wow I feel so good. my weight has gone back to normal and I have reached my goal of size 6 I'm going to my grandson's 6 grade graduation tomorrow then taking him to lunch along with my daughter, other grandson and my very special DH, and I'll be able to navagate the walf without the walker

Kadesma, I know I am a little bit late. This is such great news. I am so happy for you. Coming back from a serious illness is a lot of hard work. I know. I have been there. Something so simple like putting on a pair of normal shoes is a BIG step. When my son got married, I went from the wheelchair to 1.5 inch heels and danced all night at his wedding. I felt like I was on stilts. And all I wanted was to dance just five steps with my son. I am at a loss for words to telliing you how happy I am for you. You are making such great strides in your recovery. Good luck honey. You deserve it.

taxlady said:Yesterday we went out to dinner with an acquaintance I haven't seen in a few years. The topic of student demonstrations came up. (The students in Montreal have been demonstrating for the past three months against tuition increases.) I said I agreed with the students. He said that I should wait until I was 50 and got cynical, like him.
50! Hah! I just turned 62.
Whoa! You look over 12 years younger! Fantastic!
What's your secret?

Thank you. I do what I do because there is a need and other will not and can not step up to do it.
And now on a happy note. For all our Canadian friends. The Canadian Mounted Police will serve for one week in honor of Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Aniversary as "The Queen's Life Guards" guarding the entrance to the Palace. They were invited by Queen Elizabeth herself to serve. The Sovereign's personal body guard, known today as the Queen's Life Guard, have been guarding the ceremonial entrance to the Royal residence since the 17th Century.
Congratulations Canadians. You have to be proud. That is quite an honor.

my granddaughter and her fiancé found a place to live today. so they won't be staying with me anymore. they will be paying $600 for a converted garage. that is the rental situation in so calif. they are thrilled so i am thrilled for them. their staying here for a month and me feeding them was a help. they need money for all the 1st, deposits that go with moving in somewhere. it is very close to his work and that will cut down on the gas expenses. hard for kids these days.
Hard for us not kids, too. I pay the same rents that a pack of college students would pay. Rent is based on what a landlord can make off 2 students for each bedroom. So I pay $1000/mo for a 2 bedroom apartment. It was only $450 12 years ago and is still one of the cheapest rents in town.

You are so right babe. Most rentals here want first month, last month and a month's rent for security. If the rent is $1,000 or more a month, that is often more than they earn in a month. And they want it all at the same time. No time payments allowed. In the meantime, they are trying to save and still have some money to live on. Even two incomes is often not enough to get them started on their way.
I think PF is right, that it is mostly that I don't have any children. No worry/aggravation lines. I think it may also be the Saami genes. Maybe it's 'cause I am careful about what food I eat. Maybe I'm just lucky.

If it weren't for Elderly Housing, I would have to move in with one of my kids.

I don't have any kids, I need to begin looking at housing options for seniors.
I also need to start getting rid of "stuff".
The less options you have the lighter you need to travel.

Low income housing gave me back a life. In Florida I was paying $400 a month to rent a bedroom in someone's house. No privacy, and not much money left over, not to mention their bad mannered pets.
Now I pay $210 for a nice one bedroom apartment that's all mine, and money left over to shop for pretty much whatever I want (I'm low maintenance.)

If the elderly housing in your area is federally sponsored, you need to be 55 y.o. So since most elderly housing has a waiting list, I would suggest you apply right now if you are within six months of 55. Most elderly housing is a studio apartment. There is an income limit. You can look it up on your computer. Your rent is one-third of your income and usually includes utilities such as heat, electricity, full bath and hot water along with AC. If you have any questions, I will be glad to answer your questions.
