Problem with exporting into Word from OCR software

[martinn4]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to OCR a book.

The OCR software i'm using ( Omnipage) has an option to "Retain text and background color" which even though i checked of, still retains them.

I am left with a Word document with a colored text and background; i can easily change the color of the text, but have been unable to change the sepia color of the paper itself.

It isn't recognised as "background".

If i try to paste the text to a new Word doc using the "keep text only" or "match destination formatting" pasting options, i lose the formatting, which is absolutely essential.

Pasting with the first option, " keep source formatting" will result in both text and paper color being replicated into another Word doc.

I'm joining here a sample of a page, and wonder if you people could help a noob ?
