I have been going through my Records and floppy disks's.I have discovered i don't have copies of important Letters sent to me 4 years ago. Some from the Admiralty and records from Chatham Dockyard, On my computer or disk. I think i have found out why,I scanned one page with Canocraft.Saved it my documents, i wanted it in My word documents so i can copyand paste it into my tree. it will only open as an image file and it wont C&P.If i try to open it as a word document it just comes out in square's. I need to email these documents.How do i do it please 
I have an idea i have a program missing I am sure i could do this before

Hi Falkyrn
I don't have a problem sending images as i do it most days(sorry i forgot to put the brackets in  )My problem is transfaring the letter/image onto another another page.Of course i could type it all out as a document,but then it would not have the signatures or the Navy Emblem on it. All i can do at the moment is save my document and print them but i cant move them.

Well i will try. My family tree is all printed out,cant use those gedcom things.As well as printing i also copied and pasted into my tree.From the 1881 census my variouse family's children.No problem there,but i cant do that with the image because they wont copy. Let me do a test. Pretend this is part of my family tree.
Update 19th May 2005
Have now found granddads letter from the Admiralty at last

Hi Falkyrn
No as i mentioned i don't use a family tree program i have three,never did get my head round them 
Whats an O.C.R
When i C&P i just left click on my mouse,highlight the letter or whatever. Then right click and press copy,then drop it where i need it. I cant understand why it wont work.I can add a photo to a document but not this letter.Do you think the gremlins have been partying in my computer and knocked the setting over
Flipster, Whats a ppt slide, I have tried saving the letter in all type's, but it will still only open with image preview or paint.Just have to keep trying

I had no problem cutting and pasting to word but photo editor opened in the background.
How many of these letters have you got and is this what you want to do?
I can't attach the word documet to show you because Rootschat won't let me attach a word document only an image file. If you want to send me a personal message with your email address I will email it to you.
Jane

Hi Everyone
I have now sorted the problem,before i saw the above post
I realized what i have been doing,for some reason after scanning i have been using Save as.Instead if the usual Save.
Save as,saves it as a picture so it will only open in a picture/photo preview.Save makes it a Lossy file and it goes to my documents.So I had saved a letter as a picture thats why i couldn't copy or move it.I had the "picture " in another file so i altered it a bit to make it a new file.Then saved it.I was then able to add the picture.Now i must remember not to "save as" Again
