How to Move Office 03 Doc Scan/or Image to OL 03 Folder?
This is about how to get a scanned document or the image into Outlook or
Word. The idea in the links is good, but I can't get it into Word without it looking like jibberish some of the time. I wonder if it's a matter of matching the exact font (sometimes I'm not sure which one they used) with the correct Word font. I saw these links. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...771031033.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...812511033.aspx I'm on an XPP SP2 box using MOS 03 with OL 03. I want to be able to send an Office O3 Tools Document Scan or Document Image (2 separate apps) to OL's inbox or an OL folder. You can Send to an Address in some form of compression (a MSFT Office Document Imaging File). It becomes jibberish if you send it to Word (possibly because of the low quality of the free program's OCR). Also this tool in MOS 03 is a faster scan than the MSFT Office Document Scan for Office XP. I installed both to compare them. I wonder if this jibberish in the Word document is impacted by the Word font you choose. Can I take this scanned document and scan it in some readable form in Word or OL's "word mail" (a less featured form of Word)? That is, can I paste the document that scans well into Wordmail in Outlook? Can I get it into Outlook in any way that is not a compression file? I would really like to be able to scan the letter with it's headings and logo? I believe I will have to scan with document imaging if I find a way to do this. Any help is much appreciated. I was able to get a letter copied into word yesterday by lassoing the logo and drgging it into Word. I wasn't able to do it today with a different letter and logo. I don't know why. TIA, Chad Harris |

How to Move Office 03 Doc Scan/or Image to OL 03 Folder?
The Document Imaging app. reads text well, but is poor at document layout.
If you want to scan documents to text and retain their layout you need something better - such as the excellent Finereader. However, no OCR software is perfect and there will always be some further editing to perform. Having got your editable document you then want to e-mail it, where you will have no control whatsoever over how the recipient views it, and if the recipient is careful about what he views, he will have his mail reader set to display only plain text and thus your formatting will be lost. If you want the document to retain its format then really you need to send it as a graphical scan or PDF file. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Chad Harris wrote: This is about how to get a scanned document or the image into Outlook or Word.
