Exactly.
The irony here is high : Having such a "general table of contents" is precisely what everybody with a bit of organisation feeling would do if they were assigned the task to guide the user. Instead of that, the operating system clusters all the settings in a zillion different places, and then creates a back door for accessing the overview and names it "God Mode", as if you'd need any kind of super power to be able to handle a table of content.

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon

It's not exactly new to Windows 10.
That feature was present at least since Vista.
I'm not sure if XP had it.

They all had (XP and 7 included). I did not say it was new, only that it might help the fellow CPians who were having their first Win10 attempts

I need to copy some code from one computer to another, but soft copies are forbidden for this particular computer. Standard OCR software does not do well with underscores, tildes, and the double parens that mark a procedure with no arguments. { As in: x(); } I did try using an OCR font in windows, but it did not help any.
Does anyone know of an OCR app that will produce editable text from an PDF? Being able to handle landscape would be a huge bonus. Maybe even 11 x 17 in landscape. That would be really cool.
Thank you for your time

The latest ... Adobe reader version (x if I am correct) comes with an OCR. Just save your pdf file as text.

Foxit PDF reader[^] is awesome -- if you have a PDF, you should be able to c&p from it. Then again, I probably don't understand the details of the issue.

Er .... you're converting a text file to pdf in order to have it read by OCR to convert it to a text file? I'm obviously missing something ... or you're crazy ... one of the two!

Naw, you did not miss anything. I just left out the details.
I work for the government on classified computers. There is a bunch of code that the code itself it not classified, but is on a classified computer. We need to find a way to get it on an unclassified computer. Moving any type of media from a high level of classification to a lower one is strictly forbidden. The only option is to print it. Then we can retype the code in or scan it and extract the data via OCR.

PDF Xchange Viewer has OCR functionality built in

Tried PDFXchange, the text was wretched, formatting was not even close. Far worse trying to correct the errors than to just type in from a print out.

In Denmark we call them "Storm P" machines after the Danish inventor, writer, artist and cartoonist Robert Storm Petersen[^]. You, my dear Jörgen will most certainly know him for THIS[^] drawing!

It's been more popular in Sweden than it has EVER been i Denmark. Don't know why... Just the fact that almost ALL Swedes, regardless of age, know about it. That's most certainly not the case in Denmark.
Most Danes remember THIS ONE[^] better!
