Sometime ago I lost a Hard drive. One of the things in My Documents was a 10 page manuscript which I had typed & printed.

I scanned this back into the new HD & it was ok but "Disorientated". There are no pages, just one long screed.

How can I put it back into a paged document.

XP Home with Office Proff 2003.

Thanks PJ

That is probably how I put it back into My Documents. PJ

689769 2008-07-17 09:12:00 Have you tried opening a brand new Word document and then copying and pasting into that from the scanned file? If you go Edit > Select All and then copy and paste into the new document it should hopefully use proper page breaks. Jen (38)
