I usually try explaining this as: "There are two kinds of text. One kind
is the kind you can crop and rotate, but you can't spell check it. I
need the kind you can spell check."

People don't necessarily understand what that is, but somehow the spell
check part does gain a glimmer of understanding.

Offered in the hope that it may be useful, but without warranty or even
an implied warranty of fitness ... ...

Good luck, Chuck!
