how do I scan a document into work for editing
how do I scan a document into work for editing. I have "acquire text" at
work and can scan there but I cannot find "acquire text" in my word program at home. I tried using my epsom scanner and scanning to OCR but that does not work either. Someone please help |

Hi Frustrated-
The info supplied is not sufficient for a specific answer, but here are a couple of ideas: Not all versions of Word support direct scanning. Since you don't mention which versions you are using at work or at home, this may or may not be a factor. If the Epson unit/software supports OCR scans, you may need to check the file type you are saving the scan file in. It must be saved as Text, RTF, or some other text format in order for word to open/edit it. Even an OCR scan is pointless if the file gets saved in a graphic format (jpeg, tiff, etc.). If the file is in an appropriate format you should be able to open it in Word, edit it, and save as a Word document, as well as be able to copy/cut from it to another Word doc. Good Luck |:) "frustrated" wrote: how do I scan a document into work for editing. I have "acquire text" at work and can scan there but I cannot find "acquire text" in my word program at home.
