A former instructor created extensive tests in MacDraw. His successor wants all of this text to be editable in a word processor. Of course pasting the text into a WP doesn't get you anything but a graphic. The only solution I had was to OCR it. In case there is another way (we don't have any OCR software), could you please post or mail a user friendly solution. (If it's too hard, this novice won't be able to handle it.) Thanks for any suggestions Shirley Kehr

Of course >pasting the text into a WP doesn't get you anything but a graphic. Pasting the text into a WP gets a graphic if you select the object. However, if you select the text tool in MacDraw and then select all the text of the object, you can paste into a WP as text. I'm assuming, to make this reasonably easy to do, that the text is contained in relatively few objects. >Thanks for any suggestions You're welcome. Hope it helps. >Shirley Kehr Jeremy Roussak
