Re: Scans to text
Hi Michael Google Docs has the best OCR Program I have ever used - well worth a look at!! Scan your document - post it up to Google Drive - Select OCR from within Google. 90++ accurate!!

I would like to know how to scan a text doc into text in Open Office? Leoburg911 Michael C Dewey A scanner is basically a camera that photographs sheets of paper. Its output is a picture. You can read any text in that picture, but the computer cannot. For the computer to do this, it needs a special program called an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program; these are often supplied with the the scanner and will read the scan (the "photograph" of the page) into a text file - sometimes .doc, sometimes .html, sometimes .txt. You then open (or insert) this file into an OO document and can proceed to edit it. Complete integration of this process, so that a scanner produces a text file directly in OO, is very complex and has not been implemented. --
Command to clean-up LO Base Database.
Hi All I have been using OO/LO Base for some years but have now converted to running MySQL with an LO Base Front End - Which is far superior and to be recommended!! I do however keep an old copy of the embedded Base file going and I notice it has become very slow. I know there is an SQL Command you can close it with to clean it up for this and I used to use this. I thought I had made a note of this but can now not find it!! Can anyone give me that Command please?? Thanks IanW Pretoria RSA - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@openoffice.apache.org
Re: OpenOffice Base
Been there and had ALL the same problems!!! For over two years. ONLY ONE answer. Start again but this time DO NOT use the embedded Database engine - use MySQL or equivalent!! It's the only thing to do and I can tell you the difference is amazing!! Salvage the data you have from your backup as a CSV file and import it into your new Database and go from there.
