Will they be searchable? I do not know where in the process that option is available? Is it on the original file or is it an option in PDF?

To be honest, I don't know. I've never tried to make a PDF searchable, either with OOo, or Adobe--and I've used both at least a little.

For a free Office suite, it's worth a loot at.

Whatever is editable in Word is searchable.

However, I have no idea how viable MS Office Document imaging is for OCR. I would imagine it is highly inaccurate.

It's bad enough among the purchased OCR programs, and I've used them all.

Why don't you try it and see? OpenOffice is compatible with your Word docs and free, so it should be a quick test to find out if it works!
