If it was sent to you as a graphic (like a JPG or BMP) then I don't know how to do that -- I don't think you can change a scanned graphic document into text. The person who sent you those 3 pages would need to scan it in as text then send it to you and you could then open the text document in Word or whatever word processing program you have then copy and paste into your NOTES section of Family Tree Maker -- that's what I do. Did that make any sense?? Mechele In a message dated 4/9/00 1:20:20 AM Central Daylight Time, NiteOwl226@aol.com writes: << I recently received 3 scanned pages.

Can you tell me how to save it as text....I didn't even know you could do that and I've been on computers since the 1970's. Audrey >>
