Yeah, I was scoping that out as well, Maddog. I may have to bite yet another cash bullet and buy it; not sure it would have helped in this case, as the source of the file was a scan rather than a text-to-PDF save as operation.

As it turns out, I shelled out another 40 quid for a different program that is, at least so far, handling the OCR conversion and PDF to Word conversion, and doing a fair job of it.

If I didn't think I was going to use this program again, I'd be on a bell tower with a high powered Nerf gun.

And how's that for a 1000th post?
