If you are scanning the document as a picture and inserting it in Word, then
it is inserted In Line With Text and hence constrained by Word's page margins. Click on the graphic and change the text wrapping to Behind Text, In Front of Text, or some other style and then go to Format Picture and restore the size to 100%. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne, you were a great help, also that was a fast reply too. may be
you can help on this problem that i found on the scanner, if i scan an doc, then either paste it into paint or word then print it. The printed backdround of the copy comes out as grey instead of white. But if i scan straight to the printer, the doc comes out ok with a white background. Any thoughts on this. "Suzanne S.

Most scanner software "cleans up" (can't describe it better) the scan when scanning to printer - at least my HP scanner software did. I could change a few settings about brightness, contrast, etc which resulted in white(r) or grey(er) backgrounds. When scanned to an image, you should do some experiments with changing the contrast and the brightness of the scanned image before printing. Your favorite image manipulation will do the job (I would recommend The Gimp - http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html) but even with Word you can do some basic manipulation. Right click on the image and click on the second item from below. Don't know what it's called in English. Anyway, there you can do something about brightness & contrast. EXPERIMENT to find out what you need. Good luck! -- Amedee Van Gasse |

Sounds like you are scanning in "color", rather than "Black & white"

I solved a similar problem by changing my printer properties to "borerless
printing" which gave me 100% "JR" wrote: Sounds like you are scanning in "color", rather than "Black & white" John "straypuss" wrote in message ...
