As topic, please.

Dont really want to be installing cracked software on a corporate laptop.

Anyone got anything installed?

Thanks

some printers come with that character recognition toss, so you can change a scanned letter into a word document.

surely you can do a print screen and try it in one of those softwares

depends on how the file is made, but if it was converted from a word (or similar) document in the first place, you can just copy and paste the text
