Auggie,
Generally it takes about as much time to edit the editable text file made by the OCR-software that comes with the scanner to correct the errors as it takes to simply retype the document.
And if it's a picture, you surely can't edit it (unless you've got something like Photoshop), but that's a different story.
As already said: put both the original document and the scanned version somewhere where others can see it. Your home page would be perfect. Use a binary transfer in the ftp, and tell the forum the full filename, including extensions (like doc1.wks and scan1.jpg).
If you don't have a home page, drop me a mail via the forum (click on my profile). Put your email-address in the message (the sender will be cnet, so I can't reply); then I'll mail you with my email-address and you can me send be both files as an attachment, so that I can have a look. Of course, I won't make any use of your data.
Hope this helps,
