A JPEG is a picture and therefore you cannot mine the words from it so yes it will need to be retyped. I would Google JPEG to Word OCR scanner and see what the results give you. One side note, depending on the quality of the image and the size of the text you may be better off to just type the contents since the recognition could be spotty at best. __________________ Lee Drozak My Office Assistant
