Question:  What kind of hand scanner and (reasonably priced!) graphics
software would enable me to do the following:  scan and input simple designs,
such as logos, and combine them with ordinary text in my usual word processor?

The w/p in question is NotaBene, and it makes it very easy to include graphics
in a text file as long as the graphics is "printer ready."  I don't have a
s
s
r, yet, but have PFS First Publisher.  It is very ey eyto take the
boilerplate te timages from from fISIher and include them in a n a nfile.  But here is the rub:  the First irst ilisher er eALWAYS include an
extra form feed.  Thus the inclusion in a in a igers!pends up with a huge amount
of whitACHace.  I've tried to find the forme forme by trial and error,
but couldn't.

Has anyone out there used a specificificihics package esoul with with wfrom a package, or better yet with a specific hand sand sa and done this
simple maneuver without ending up with scads of white space between the logo
and the text?

Please don't suggest using the "text" capability provided by thby thbpackage: its quality is terrible.  The hardware in in is an
IBM PS2/30-286, which comes with VGA as standard equipment; I use an
IBM 8513 high resolution color monitor and and Logitech Mouse.

Any ideas, suggestions, tips, leads?

I'll very much appreciate any help at all.
