Have a nice weekend !!

Thanks! And you to!

Here i made from this great work of yours somthing like UDF:

Seems the size of the bmp/tif/whatever matters here... If your width and height of the pic isn't big enough, it throws errors... I haven't gotten the exact height needed yet specifically, but I know that 100 width and 12 height isn't working so well. Just an FYI for others, or if others haven't found that issue, maybe more of an eye opener for me

@all

I went already a bit further and threw in a VIEWER in the game.

See updated First post.

Just playing around, gives a lot a possibilties.

Making this all in a UDF is to premature I think

Seems to be very accurate and you can get the coordinates where texts are found, too.

How do you get the coordinates tuape ?

[ptrex]

@all

I did not have time to take this a bit further.

But I will spend some more time on this later on.

If anyone get's this going just post some code examples.

You an get all sorts of interesting details from the .Word object .. download Microsoft's standalone helpfile (CHM format) on the Object Model for full details.

Or you can browse it online

HTH

Nice find ptrex!

[ptrex]

@Trids

Thanks.

That"s what I used to make the first example.

Now it"s only a matter of time to read through the docs and take it to the next level.

You are allways wellcome to give it a try

There's a FREE utility that comes in handy with OCR .. a command line screen scraper called minicap.

Here's an example that combines minicap with ptrex's OCR.

Enjoy!

Here is my tribute to your work.. I was hoping you could take a look at it and help me fix it...

This uses an autoit screencapture script by Toady...

I installed all components of Office XP and there isn't a folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI or the MODI component in registry.

Is there another possibility to install this component?

[LordWinter]

Meantime I found the answer.

There is Microsoft Office Professional Plus! 2007.

[thenewkid]

this would be good in a func like PixelChecksum

ORC( left, top, right, bottom, $colour)

$colour being the colour the text is in

Hi!

I installed all components of Office XP and there isn't a folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MODI or the MODI component in registry.

+1

When I search, I find that Office installed the component "Office-Imaging", to make OCR. But, no trace of MODI.

I use Office-XP-professional-French.

Any idea?

@Michel

I am not sure it is available using Office XP ?

I only found 2003 and higher examples.

If I find something I'll let you know.

Drop! I have, now, Vista Ultimate + Office-2007. And, your script run OK.

Tested on Windows Vista with Office 2007. It works great!.

I'm only asking how to authorize the compiled exe in order to avoid these annoying warning security dialogs.

Thank you very much for sharing.

Roy.

@

Thanks

Maybe you can set the security in Office to LOW.

I don't have 2007, but in the older versions it was like TOOLS -> MACRO's -> SECURITY -> LOW

Hi!

Disable UAC.

And work like local admin.
