If you save the scanned document with a .DOC extension you won't get this
problem. Alternatively if you want to save with another extension and have
this open automatically through Word you need to go to Control Panel Folder
Options and either add and entry for the extension or Change if already
listed and make sure set to Open With Microsoft Office Word/Word whatever
Word listed as.
