Hi Could SKS please help me with transferring files. I have been transferring files from my main computer to my laptop, but when I have put them on the Laptop I have to change the properties to archive as they go on as read only. How can I fix this so that they go on as archive? Thanks Nardia kntaylor@ozemail.com.au

If you are using CDs, as Patty said they will be read only and you'll have to change them after the transfer. Art

Good Morning, An Ancestry.com daily newsletter for the 22nd of July talked of OCR software and listed the following: Adobe Acrobat capture 3 www.adobe.com Scansoft Omnipage 14 (“PC Magazine” Editor's Choice) www.scansoft.com ABBYY Finereader 7, (Mac v5) www.abbyy.com Textbridge 11 (No longer Xerox, it's Scansoft also!) www.scansoft.com Have any of you used one of the above programs? Did they work well? What others have any of you used that you liked? Did you find one that worked particularly well with old handwritten documents such as wills or land records? I am debating even getting this because retyping those old documents is a real learning exercise. I learn far more and know far better what is in them after retyping them but there may be times when I would want to use OCR for one of these old documents. Thank you for your input.
