Scanning question

    At the moment when I scan a doc or similar it only wants to save it as a jpeg etc. Most times I am scanning in a word doc and when saved as a jpeg it can make the file size very large compared to a normal word doc done and saved on the pc. Is there any software that scan/reads it for what it is

    Cheers

    a word document saves each letter as a letter

    a jpeg means that each letter is a picture in 24 bit colour


    if you want to convert scans to docs use microsoft document imaging add on for office 2003 and later to OCR the text, you may have to change the scanner from jpg to tiff or something
