You need to post in a forum that supports the program you are using that you
are saving them in when they convert. It's not a Windows issue.

That is what I am doing, I am looking for a program to use that works in
Windows that will convert
this stuff. I am asking the folks who know what program to use.

Thanks for the quick response.

I tried to set the application's options or preferences but it is
Ancestry.com and it only has the 1 choice when saving the Census records.

===================================
To convert a picture of text to editable text you
need an OCR (optical character recognition)
program and a scanner.

If you have Microsoft Office...you may already
have a program you can use.

Microsoft Office Document Scanning
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Office_Document_Scanning

Or...do a Google search for OCR software...you'll
find many choices.
