I have a HP 2200 scanner that has editable text facility.
When using documents written in english it works fine, but if I have a doc in another language, such as german, it can only pick up some of the words and the copy in word (2000) is written in different fonts, different sizes and scattered all over the page. It seems to have a nervous breakdown.
Any body know how to fix?

Generaly, the software bundled with computer hardware is a 'light' or 'limited edition' version of someones full commercial package.

As such, they often have limited features and functions.

You might check the install CD, or HPs web site, and see if you can download additional language packs for the software.

Otherwise, you will need to purchase the full version of a software package such as Text Bridge Pro.

You need OCR software that's written specifically to handle foreign languages. What you have now probably works great for English but like you said, has a "nervous breakdown" when it encounters a different language.
