OCR turns a picture into text. Since it's already text, why turn it
into a picture to turn it back into text? That just adds 2 steps that
might introduce errors.
To quote you, "It would be much better to paste it into a word
processing program" and use it like that. THEN you'll know that
neither the conversion to a picture nor OCRing - neither one of which
you did - it got it wrong.
