Scanning Tables into Power Point and editing

[kathy]

Hi:
As of today I scanned in to PowerPoint 3 tables and text. It is so small.
How can I edit the text and graphs? You can't hardly read the text. I can
email the file to someone if they are willing to take a look.

I appreciate it. thanks

Did you actually *scan* the tables using a scanner? A scanner will capture a
page as a single bitmap image, not as graphs and text. If you want to edit the
text that you have scanned in, you'll need to rescan it with character
recognition software. If you want to edit graphs, you are probably out of luck.
What is the source of the pages that you scanned? Did they come from Excel or
another application?

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to respond. Below are the steps:
1. I was given a xerox copy of of a journal - the copy contained 3 graphs
with plotted information and text below each graph i.e. Figure 1. xyz

2. I placed that sheet of paper on my scanner and scanned it into Photo
Editor and also in to Power Point. I was clueless.

3. Now that it is (a picture of it is pasted into Power Point) I need to
make it large like for a slide or at least big enough to read.

4. I have access to Omni Page Pro 14 and have no idea how to use the
software. Although it sounds like Omni Page Pro may be the best resource.

5. Do you have any idea where I might find resources or training for Omni
Page Pro 14.

thanks a bunch

I taught myself how to use Omni Page, so you may have to do the same. It's
pretty straight forward and you can't hurt anything by experimenting.
