Text from books

Re: Text from books

I would like to avoid retyping passages I have found in published stories relating to persons included in my Reunion file
I have tried to scan the copy of the passage I wanted to insert into my Notes and I dragged this jpeg image into the Notes area.
The passage of text certainly appeared in the Notes as I hoped but the text then disappeared

Is there a short cut available.
Obviously the source of the text would be acknowledged

If you are dealing with PDF files (as, for example, on Google Books), try this:

You can also use Googles own bots to convert from an image to PDF:
