>> maybe I just need to learn how to separate the
documents. Is this really something I could do in
OpenOffice.org Writer or MS Word?>>
Hi Dan - Yes - When opening a PDF in Acrobat reader, from
the 'Edit' menu choose 'Select All' and 'Copy'. This
copies the content to the clipboard. You can subsequently
'Paste' this content into another application. I use Word
2003 so the text included in any images (scanned documents)
is also pasted along with regular text. I'm not sure if
Open Office supports this however I assume it does although
I haven't tested it.
Not being aware of the background I'm still reluctant to
re-publish these documents without permission, although
maybe someone else will... I'm assuming they were sent in
confidence to your Senator and s/he made them public under
rights granted under political process? - I'm not sure this
really makes them 'public domain', or that such legal
exclusions carry to you or I re-publishing the documents.
In my experience the Red Cross is very open and approachable
- my wife was a Red Cross Disaster Victim Registrar for many
years and we share a lot of respect for the work of this org
- When you asked them for this info what was the response?
Cheers, Don
