pls any1 share utility you're using
copying from the PSF and pasted to a text document in Open Office and it can be done. The size and text need to be resized and spaced.
Or
You can try reading this.

I haven't found any free PDF-to-Word (or Excel, OpenOffice, etc) utilities, but many OCR applications let you import a file and export to Word, which does nicely.

You can use the scanner to scan the document to Word(I use Open Office).
I scan it as a rtf file and it scans nicely.
Rick
Thanks to all who posted suggestions.
I never even thought of scanning and then converting, that should do the trick...
Thanks again all............................
Many OCR applications let you import a file and have it converted to a Word document so you don't have to print it if it's already in digital form. That is, in essence, what the software is doing anyway...initially scans as a JPG into the temp directory and then converts to Word. Just less paper waste.

Have you thought about a trial download? I've had really good luck with Solid Documents Solid Converter PDF getting accurate, editable copy and there's a trial you can get for free on http://www.soliddocuments.com/products.htm?product=SolidConverterPDF.
