Copy a Word letter complete with headers and footers to Outlook

[Guest]

Anyone know how to copy a Word document that has headers and footers and
paste in the message body of an Outlook email message?

Copying the text is easy but my company stationary has a header with logo,
name, etc. and the footer the email, street address, etc. The whole idea is
to avoid sending an attachment that might be viewed as dangerous.

Thanks

The short answer is that you can't and in any case the chances are that the
recipient would have their mail reader set up to view only plain text. The
best way to deal with this is to convert the document to PDF format for
which you will need extra software and attach that. PDF files are considered
safe.

Hi,
The only way to send a word document with header and footer is to convert it
as a PDF file. The program is called acrobat reader. They have a website
www.adobe.com and you can convert your document to a pdf file for free. Try
it, hope this helps. jodona50

Adobe Acrobat does not do any text recognition. Therefore what you see
in Adobe Acrobat as the scanned resume is in reality a picture. You can
select the picture (there is a picture selection tool on the toolbar)
and copy & paste that into Word, but it is still going to be a picture.
Hence you won't be able to edit it.
If your scanner comes with OCR software (text recognition software),
then you should use that to scan the document and get the text into
Word. You should be able to see in your HP Scanner Software whether it
comes with an OCR package or not.
I have seen computer magazines bundling an older version of OmniPage
(OCR software). You might be able to find a free download of an older
OmniPage version off of the website of some major computer magazine.
I don't know if there is any freeware OCR software, but I do know that
you can get a GPL-licensed OCR software development package (to use it,
you definitely need to be a programmer though).
Quite honestly though, if your scanner doesn't come with OCR software,
you are probably going to get your resume faster into Word by just
typing it up.

Did you try to select the text and copy it over?

And if it's your resume, why don't you have the electronic copy that was
used to create your resume in the first place?

Probably cuz it's someone else's résumé that he/she is trying to
plagiarize.

PDFs created by scanners are just graphics; there's no text to select. And
it is not at all unusual for people to pay big money to have a consultant
prepare a
résumé and get nothing but hard copy (I've redone résumés for some such);
the consultant holds the electronic file hostage so that you have to return
to have it updated. Come to think of it, I do the same, though if anyone
asks for a file, I provide it.

I suspected that but you never know. It could be as gno suggests.

To be honest, if I were going to pay to get my resume done professionally,
I'd make sure that I got an electronic copy of the file. If the person doing
the work wouldn't be willing to do that, I'd find another service that
would. For now I have to do my own resume because I can't afford the fees
charged by people to re-word my work experience. I actually think I've got a
pretty good one this time. It's stronger than any I've ever had in the past.

The only problem with that is that you will almost always lose formatting -
and that can take as long as the re-typing.

Print the resume out, and then run it through an OCR program. THEN keep an
ecopy of your own.....
