The Tribe of Adminsa home for wayward admins

The site has updated with lots of new information. An Adobe Acrobat Faux Wiki has been added with a couple of supporting pages to address some of those nagging PDF issues and open the floor to questions and tips.

There’s a new page on how to get rid of that annoying markup that remains when you print Word documents after tracking changes here.

Ever paste a table into Excel, only to have it all show up in one cell? Here’s a solution that’s just been moved into the Word Faux Wiki.

There’s a page on The Wonder of Snag-it, a big problem solver for admins.

Finally, there’s a new post right below this one on how to count multiple variables in Excel that will eventually become part of an Excel section.

You might notice a few more little ads at the bottom of the pages. I remain committed to keeping it to a minimum, but I could use a little help supporting site, so if you want any of the software or books you see here, click through!

If you want to be notified of the updates on this site, click on RSS or on “RSS” down at the very bottom of the page. Once you’re there, choose “subscribe in mail” near the bottom of the right hand sidebar.

Cheers!

Convert A Scanned File to an editable Word doc

Steps

• 1. Scan the page you want to convert into a Microsoft Word document.
• 2. Save the scanned image in *.gif, *.jpeg or whatever format.
• 3. Open that image, go to “File->Save As” and name it “xyz.tiff” in the “TIFF” format as shown.
• 4. Go to “Start->Programs->Microsoft Office Tools->Microsoft Office Document Imaging”
• 5. Go to “File->Open” and open your scanned document that has been saved in *.TIFF format.
• 6. Go to “Tools->Send Text to Word.” You will get a prompt stating this process will take time, Click OK. This will take some time depending on your computer’s speed (a minute or two at the most).
• 7. When it’s done it will open up Microsoft word on its own and the scanned document will now be in editable mode.

Things You’ll Need

• Microsoft Word 2003 or newer
• Scanned image of the document you want to turn into a Microsoft Word document
