OCR to Word conversion is unreadable.

When I scan a document to send to Word for fax, the OCR is performed just
before the scanned document is sent to Word. The text(and signatures) are
converted to unreadable characters and sent through the fax that way. It
produces an unreadable (and unuseable)fax.

If you're just going to fax it, don't use OCR scanning. OCR is only as good
as the original document, and most of the time, not THAT good either.

This says much about your OCR software or the way it is set up. Get yourself
some better OCR software. Try Finereader!
