Is there a way to remove text from a graphic image and convert it to a text document,by way of software?

Yes. 'TextBridge' for example. The technology is still developing. Some software is more versatile than others in terms of the kind of graphics that can be converted -- file types; colors; etc.. Anything less than 99% accuracy is likely to be more trouble than it is worth. Even the best will need editing to correct errors. Be particularly careful of words which pass spell-check but make no grammatical sense.\n\nTextBridge was originally intended to be used in transferring office information from printed page to computer storage via scanner. The early versions do not do anything but black on white -- with scanner enhanced contrast: 99.9%. I am not up on the current limitations, but there is significant color ability available. Following some of the current free form graphic text is still likely to be iffy.

Below are two free programs you can do that with:\n\n(Below them is a link to a larger list of freeware and shareware programs to do that with.)

I use "irfanview" for my computer art needs. It is entirely free.  Download all the plug-ins and you can do every task you need:\nhttp://www.irfanview.com/\nYou could try this"\n'Convert Image' is a simple to use, yet sophisticated image conversion and manipulation utility specifically designed to convert and transform graphic files. If you need to convert one or thousands of files, located in one or many different folders, into a variety of different file types, this is the tool. \nhttp://www.softinterface.com/Convert-Image/Convert-JPG.htm

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) will let you do that quite nicely. You can find it at http://www.gimp.org

It can be done with a photo editing program like Roxio Photo Suite. Or my favorite for this purpose is Microsoft Digital Image Pro > use smart erase.

Your best bet is probably GIMP- GNU Image Manipulation Program- kind of a freeware Photshop.

I think that you may possibly be able to just copy and paste it to word, or any graphics editing program.

One solution is to cut and paste images into the header of the document and move the image to the desired location and then close header.\n\nAnother solution would be to use tables and place the image and text inside the cells.  You should then be able to use 'format picture'.

Photoshop of course but I am sure the free GIMP program will do the same thing:\nhttp://www.gimp.org/windows/

You may want to try 4Tex.  It can convert PC-Write files into LaTeX, then LaTeX into ASCII.  It's not a one-step conversion, but should do the job.

Try GIMP at http://www.gimp.org/\nThis is a complete image editing software that is nearly as good as Photoshop, but free.
