Hey everybody,
I recently received an internship. One of my duties is prepare press clippings. One of the steps requires physically (using scissors) cuting out news stories from photocopied local newspapers and taping them onto cover sheets (which have the proper header). This is how my supervisors told me past interns have done it...
Now...an obvious question....is there a way to do this digitally? I know I can scan the photocopies into the computer in PDF format, but is there a way then to select the news columns, copy them, and then paste them into a Word document (which has the header)? I've assuming the PDF won't recognize the text or photos.
The computer I have at work runs XP and has standard office software.
Thank you!
