hmmm that's an idea, though it would take a while to do a whole book.
Plus if you OCR'rd a screen shot, you'd have to find a way of excluding
the large amounts of peripheral information on the page. But it might
be the only way..

freeware screen reader<br/><br/>Hi,<br/><br/>If you have texthelp read
& write gold 8.1 (note point 1) it has a<br/>screen shot reader. It
basically takes a screen shoot image then OCRs<br/>the content.
see http://www.texthelp.com/page.asp?pg_id=1275 or abbyy<br/>screen
shot http://screenshotreader.abbyy.com/ (it as a free trial)
<br/><br/>hope this helps<br/><br/>Andy<br/><br/><br/>The University of
