I have printed them out and then scanned them back in. Kind of a pain, but
if you really need the info, this is a possible way.

Greetings:

If Convenient OCR does not work, then I fear there is no good way to get at
the image without another program. The approach of stopping JAWS, capturing
the image by copying it to the clipboard, then pasting the image into Word
can work, but this, too, relies on Convenient OCR, which (unless I am
missing somethiing) may the the only OCR solution you have on your computer
at work.

It's worth considering purchasing ABBYY FineReader (for a longer term
solution) which costs around $170. I know this does not solve your immediate
problem<sigh>.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong
