- I have a problems with Word Perfect.
-
- I've scanned several pages that were in 3-column format (like a newspaper)
- using Scan-X and OCR'd them using OCR-Servant. The result is RTF files
- that have the columns aligned using spaces. I'd like to be able to turn
- this file into a WP file that has columns instead. I can import the RTF
- into WP, but I can't figure out how to get WP to change the doc into
- columns. I'm not sure it is possble, since WP takes tall text up to a HPg
- and puts it into the first column, then all the rest up to a HPg in the
- next column, etc and the files are columnized by using spaces, thus all
- the info is on the same line. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

- PS - I know I could rescan all the pages, only scanning one column per
- page per file, but I don't want to rescan ~50 pages.
