Scanning text, help!

[wetcamelfood]

Hi, I'm hoping someone here can help:

I've been trying to scan text from liner notes for inclusion in the new discography (I'm using HP PrecisionScan LTX) & when it's a white background with black text it seems to transfer it to wordpad quite well but anytime I have a CD booklet page with any other combination (like black background with white text for example) it won't transfer anything over to WP. When I use the Invert tool, then it pushes the output type to black and white photo (and therfore won't scan the text) & when I put the output back to text, it won't let me Invert.

Any suggestions on this would be great (as it's been taking me forever to type out the notes which I've resorted to doing lately & it seems like such an annoyig thing to have to type them out just because of this small glitch).

Thanks for any ideas any of you can share on this in advance.

John
