Convert: Newspaper in Bitmap

Hi,
I was wondering, if there is a better way to put newspaper-scans in
bitmap-mode than just selecting greyscale-mode and bitmap-mode afterwards.
The background of the newspapers is slightly grey, and I would like to habe
a picture that has just the text (in black) and the background completely
white.
I think I read something about others ways to accomplísh that some time ago.
Did it include some tricks with layers or other functions in the
picture-menu?
Thank you for every hint!!
Nico

WHERE they are is the least of your problems. You'll have to use them
after you found them. How about reading the manual?

In article <4e5u08F1d4ao5U1@individual.net>,
Use the Curves or Levels command to knock out the background to white
before you convert the scan to a bitmap.

you could use Threshold
that will make everything lighter than a certain shade white
and everything darker black
go to Image-->Adjustments-->Threshold
or add adjustment layer and choose Threshold
