RE: ? opening data in .gif pictures

[MikeSuesserott@xxxxxxxxxxx (Michael Suesserott)]

Walter,

please find attached the Kleptomania text copy of your file. OCR (Optical
Character Recognition) is not perfect, manual correction is usually
required, but you might find it useful just the same. The results will be
much better, though, if you apply the program to the original screen
directly instead of an intermediary file.

Best,

Michael

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

| Walter,
|

look

| 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?
|
| Best regards
