Which repository should should Barry [& I] be looking at for OCRFeeder?] </blockquote><div> Hi Bill According to the Properties in Synaptic (Software Centre is not so helpful) it is in Universe.

See <a href="http://live.gnome.org/OCRFeeder">http://live.gnome.org/OCRFeeder</a> If you really cannot find it in the Ubuntu repos, there is a download link on that site. Tony </div></div>
