	KRM: I've been trying to put together a page for the newspapper cuttings. Have a look at Library \| Newspapper Cuttings page. There are a LOT to scan. I think the OCR is important for searching.

			PhilR: I have been using the 'dictate' option on Word to transcribe documents.

			This still needs some correcting as it doesn't always understand my accent, but like OCR it takes you a fair way through AND if you want to transcribe handwritten documents (if you are able to read them) you can transcribe these (faster than typing it all out). OCR wouldn't stand a chance. </font>

	~~<p>SBP: I'm afraid I'm not sure this is fixable, given the tightly locked down nature of the web server configuration (which I'm completely unable to access) on the Wiki's host server. </p>~~

	<p>SBP: For the moment, I've turned off the functionality in the Wiki that attempts to create thumbnails so that the error message is suppressed at least. Your uploads are probably all ok by the way - the system deletes any thumbnail images it fails to create but should have uploaded your original image(s) so that they're still available for use on your page(s).</p>
