your link looked like rocket science to me

To put it simply, try to scan your document with enough resolution to distinctly separate each letter on the page. Look at the scanned image and make sure a visible gap exists between each letter - except for letters printed with a ligature, i.e., without a gap, which typically occur in combinations like "rt". About 200-to-300 dots per inch (DPI) of resolution is usually sufficient to get accurate OCR output for most documents.

ligature

You proved my point exactly. You know rocket science! I learned something new today. Thanks for the pointers they all are helpful. Do you know what Auntie Mame is talking about by having Adobe available on your printer menu? What do I need to do to have that happen, do you know?
