Re: ? opening data in .gif pictures

["Walter Lake" <wlake@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Don

Yes ... I tried that.

My "lite" OCR software that normally reads any article or text scanned ...
returned a total "zerO'.

So, I'm trying "alternatives" <G>

Best regards

Walter

| Hi Michael
|
| I downloaded "Kleptomania" and have not had any luck ... but then again
| that's typical ... given my "hands of stone"<G>
|
| Have enclosed a portion of a ".gif" file from one of the web pages. I
would
| appreciate it if you would try "Klepto" on it to see if you have any
| success.
|
| Thanks to Scheier and others who wrote with suggestions. Nothing is
working
| so far.
|
| Best regards

| | Walter,
| |
| | a screen capture OCR tool would do the trick. You might want to have a
| look
| | at "Kleptomania", one of the best OCR tools I know.

| | Several of the web sites that I want to download data from have the data
| in
| | "gif" or picture format. Does anyone know how to open .gif files into
text
| | or ".xls" files?
| |
