Check for common typing errors, like "the" spelled "hte". This is NOT
the type of error that OCR makes. OTOH, there are some errors that OCR
is more likely to make, like mistaking a "c" for an "e", etc. But if
there are no typing errors, I doubt that you could write a VBA program
to differentiate them in less time than it would take to re-type the
file.

Hi Jitendra,

Take a look at the properties (File>Properties) of both types of document
and see if there is an distinguishing feature that might be able to be used.

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
