Just copies a picture in to Pages. I need to covert the picture to text. How do I do that please?One thought is to open in Preview, save as .pdf (File>Export>PDF) and then copy and paste onto new Word/Pages document.
Nope, he can't. He's less knowledgeable than IAs far as I know, you can't convert a picture to text unless you use something like optical character recognition software. Can whoever you got this from send it to you in a more reasonable (parseable) format?
Oh, this has made my day. This is fantastic. I just tried it now with a PDF where the "text" wasn't really text at all (like a scanned document). It did an admirable job - my biggest problem was the differentiation of words (it combined a few words) but other than that, it worked pretty well.If you save the doc as PDF I believe Google docs can do the OCR conversion for you
You will have to sign up for Google docs and give it a try
