  1. On my Epson I can scan to OCR(Don't ask me what that stands for). That will allow me to open the document in either Note Pad Or Word. When it does it though, it has to convert it to a text document. So yours is most likely being saved as a .jpg or something similar. Maybe you have something similar to Epson's Twain?

    Oops, I see you already figured that out!!

    Same here.

    My Epson allows me to scan to editable text.

  3. The Americans and the Japanese decided to engage in a competitive boat race. Both teams

    practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance. On the big day they both felt ready.

    The Japanese won by a mile!

    Afterward, the American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management

    decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to

    investigate the problem and recommend corrective action.

    The consultant's findings: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the

    American team had one person rowing and eight people steering.

    After a year of study and millions spent analyzing, the problem, the consulting firm concluded that too

    many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team.

    So, as race day neared again the following year, the American team's management structure was

    completely reorganized.

    The new structure: four steering managers, three area steering managers, one staff steering manager

    and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive.

    That year the Japanese won by two miles!

    Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a

    bonus for discovering the problem.

  4. A couple was invited to a real swanky Halloween party, so the wife got costumes for both of them.

    On the night of the party, she developed a terrible headache and told her husband to go without her.

    He protested, but she said that all she was going to do was take a couple of aspirins and go to bed

    and there was no need of his good time being spoiled by not attending. So he got into his costume and

    off he went.

    The wife, after sleeping soundly for about an hour, awoke without a sign of pain, and as it was just a little

    after nine, she decided to go to the party. Inasmuch as her husband did not know what kind of costume she

    was to wear, she thought It would be a good idea to just slip into the party, and observe how he acted when

    she was not around.

    This she did, and as soon as she joined the party the first one she spied was her husband, cavorting around

    on the dance floor, dancing with one slick chick and then another, copping a little feel here and there. So the

    wife sided up to him, and being a rather seductive babe herself, he left his partner standing high and dry, and

    devoted his attention to the new stuff that had just arrived.

    She let this go as far as he wished, naturally, and finally he whispered a little proposition in her ear. This

    she agreed to, and they went out to one of the cars parked nearby, ETC..ETC..ETC.....

    Just before the unmasking at midnight, she slipped away, went home, and got into bed, wondering what

    kind of explanation her husband would make as to his behavior. He arrived home about 1:30 A.M. and

    came right into the bedroom to see how she was. She was sitting up in bed reading and asked, "What kind

    of time did you have?"

    He said, "Oh, the same old stuff. You know I never have a good time when your not around."

    Then she asked, "Did you dance much?"

    He said, "Well, I'll tell you, I never danced much. When I got there, Dave Jones, Bill Brown and some other

    guys were stag too, so we went back into the den and played poker the rest of the evening. But I'll tell you

    one thing, that fellow I loaned my costume to sure had one hell of a good time.

  6. Son: "Dad, I have to do a special report for school. Can I ask you a question?"

    Father: "Sure son. What's the question?"

    Son: "What is Politics?"

    Father: "Well let's take our home for example. I am the wage earner, so let's call me Capitalism.

    Your mother is the administrator of the money, so let's call her Goverment. We take care of your

    needs, so let's call you The People. We'll call the maid The Working class and your baby brother

    we can call The Future. Do you understand son?

    Son: "I'm not really sure, Dad. I'll have to think about it."

    That night awakened by his brother crying, the boy went to see what was wrong. Discovering that

    the baby had seriously soiled his diaper, the boy went to his parents room and found his mother

    sound asleep. He went to the maids's room, where, peeking through the keyhole, he saw his father

    in bed with the maid. The boy's knocking went totally unheeded by his father and the maid, so the

    boy returned to his room and went back to sleep.

    The next morning he reported to his father.

    Son: "Dad, now I think I understand what politics is."

    Father: "Good son! Can you explain it to me in your own words?"

    Son: "Well dad, while Capitalism is screwing The Working Class, Government is sound asleep,

    The People are being completelty ignored and The Future is full of crap.
