Last night, I discovered a Microsoft Office program that I’ve never used before – and it’s actually quite a useful feature to know about.<\/p>\n

I’d received a contract in .PDF format which needed to be signed and returned by fax or e-mail. I no longer have a fax machine (my ISP provides me with a fax-to-email service for receiving faxes and I very rarely send them). So, my problem was that once I’d printed and signed the (multiple page) contract, how could I digitise it again (as a single document, rather than several individual pages)? The answer was Microsoft Office Document Imaging<\/a> – provided as part of Office XP and 2003 (and possibly in other versions too – I haven’t checked). This let me scan multiple pages into a single .TIF file, also offering optical character recognition (OCR) and annotation functionality (pens, highlighting, text and picture insert, etc.).<\/p>\n

I’ve been using Microsoft Office for many years, and I’ve never used this feature before – it strikes me that it might be a useful piece of information for someone else too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
