Our Review: Digitising data from hard-copies is always a hassle, and one would think that an angled, distorted graph would be a lost cause. However, with Grab It!, a superb spreadsheet application for Excel, it is completed accurately and with relative ease. You simply have to load your image, follow the instructions and you are there. With a simple layout and some wonderfully detailed instructions, Grab It! is hard to fault. Highly recommended.
