Please can anyone tell me how to scan the Telegraph summer crossword in - it is bigger than A4 and I can't get the scanner to put both sides in at all. Not done it yet - but ? This has happened before and I never cracked it.

Thanks for any help./ I have a Canon MG6450 scanner

Can you use image editing software?

The way I do this with the Times Jumbo crosswords page is to scan it in 2 parts, then open them both in Paint.net http://www.getpaint.net/ (other editing software can be used similarly). Then select one of the images, resize its canvas to make it large enough to include the other, then go to that other image and select and copy all of it, followed by pasting it into a new layer of the first image. That layer can then be moved to align the 2 images to form the complete page, and finally flatten the layers to make a single layer image.
Get Scannerpro on your ipad.

Job done.

p.s. an optional final step is to select the area of the composite image that includes what you want but excludes items on the page that you don't want, e.g. large white borders, and crop the image to the selected area.
