Thanks wily, reason it came about, a distant cousin, both biological and space wise, are in a small genealogy group. I e-mailed a .tif file to a member and he e-mailed back he could not open the file on his WebTV.net. Could only open .txt files. I can fax or snail mail to him. Seems to me the .tif file, the program to open the file, is piggybacked onto the file in order for the recipient to open it, is reason for it being +1mb. Thanks for the OCR suggestion. I'll follow that lead. If I use MS Picture It99 to scan text I seem to get a grey background and hard to read. The .tif file is very clear and only complaint is the fellow with WebTV can't open it. Have a Good week-end, Regards, /jw The only way to get it back into text would be to type it out manually, who ME!!!!!, not with one finger, LOL
