Hi All - I have a batch of a few thousand resumes from over the years. I want to be able to extract the Contact Info from them. All are on my local drive ... I am not interested in &quot;farming the Internet&quot;.<br />
Any suggestions on a way to do this ? We are very technical but poor ... A complicated solution is OK but any solution more than a few hunded dollars will break us!<br />
Thanks for any suggestions !<br />
