scanning a document in word 2007
Obviously you need a scanner. The scanner should come with some basic
software that launches the scanned document in Word. However, if you want the scanned item to be editable text, then you need another software utility called OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Most scanners come with a basic OCR package too. So you scan, run the OCR which should open a new document with an editable new document. The quality of the original document, the quality of the scan and the OCR provided will have a major effect on how good the scanned document will be. If you arte going to do a lot of this, then get a decent scanner and a good OCR such as AbbeyyFineReader. Budget scanners come with budget software that does a budget job. AT the top end of the market, you can get automated scanners with OCR that will automatically scan large documents (usually up to 50 or 100 duplex pages) in just a minute or so. But you need a powerful PC and a matching budget to achieve that. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "cjw064" wrote in message ... Hi all, How to a scan a document into word 2007 please Thanks Chris |

The issue here, however, Terry, is that Insert | Picture | From Scanner or
Camera... is no longer available in Word 2007. Whether there's a way to directly acquire OCR text, I don't know. -- Suzanne S.

I see. Office 2007 has its own utility: Microsoft Office 2007, Microsoft
Office Tools, Microsoft Office Document Scanning. But it is just a front end so that you still use the scanner driver and interface. Terry "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

Hi Chris,
MS Office 2003 and 2007 have an optional installation item set, Microsoft Office Document Imaging and Microsoft Office Document Scanning that you can choose from the Microsoft Office listing in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel. =============== "cjw064" wrote in message ...

Suzanne,
There is a method for getting to Insert Picture from scanner, but you have to go throught he Insert=Clipart=Organize Clips choice to get to it in the File menu of the Office clip organizer. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/827100/en-us?FR=1 For document scanning, rather than picture input, installing the optional MS Office Document Imaging and scanning feature set is the same in 2007 as in 2003. =============== "Suzanne S.

Thanks for the follow-up, Bob. Nice to know it's not *entirely* unavailable.

Thanks for pointing that out, Bob - I haven't installed 2007 on the systems
at work myself, and apparently our techs took the shortcut. Hence, the result of not being able to locate it. I found it odd that it would be withdrawn - glad to know it hasn't been  Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 4/2/07 10:13 AM, in article , "Bob Buckland ?:-)" 75214.226At Beautiful Downtowncompuserve.com wrote: Hi Chris, MS Office 2003 and 2007 have an optional installation item set, Microsoft Office Document Imaging and Microsoft Office Document Scanning that you can choose from the Microsoft Office listing in Add/Remove Programs in the Windows control panel. =============== "cjw064" wrote in message ...

scanning a document in word 2007
Hi Taz,
As a guess I wouldn't expect the MS Office Document Imaging app (MS Paper) to survive in the next version. It's original name 'MS Paper' is what led into the XPS development. MS doesn't often provide its Office graphic file formats that it then discontinues to 3rd party folks, or there would be converters for both .MIX and for .MDI files out there in other graphic apps g). That would lead to them being more widespread in use, but MS marketing apparently doesn't see it that way g). If I recall correctly MS Office Document Imaging originally wasn't going to be in Office 2007, but perhaps XPS wasn't far enough along at that point to be able to transition to it easily. It seemed odd that the removal of insert/scan from camera feature was going away when digital cameras/phones etc with USB plugins finally became popular and widespread, but... ==== "CyberTaz" typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet wrote in message ...

You can install the MODI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) in the Office
Tools, also available in Office 2007. See http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/0...h-office-2007/ for a description. OCR and document management works as great as in Office 2003. For the physical scan you still need the scanner+driver, though. -- Ansgar "Bob Buckland ?:-)" wrote: Hi Taz, As a guess I wouldn't expect the MS Office Document Imaging app (MS Paper) to survive in the next version.

scanning a document in word 2007
On another note and if you are still having no sucess, I found instant
results for my scanner when used with VISTA. Here is the recommended work around (yes another one, its like scanning text into Word is something new!) Issue When the scan button is pressed on the printer, nothing happens. The scan button does not work correctly. Solution Scan documents using Windows Fax and Scanning or Paint. Scanning with Windows Fax and Scanning Click the Start ( ) icon. Click All Programs . Click Windows Fax and Scanning . Click New Scan . Click File and then click Scan . Scanning with Paint Click Windows . Click All Programs . Click Accessories . Click Paint . Click File and then click From Scanner or Camera . Click Scan . Cause The drivers in the Windows Vista operating system do not support button press functionality on the printer. Well since my version of Vista did not have Fax software, I used Paint aND WALA, i was finally able to send selected text to Word, OCR was initiated in the same process. I will continue to fine tune this. I hope this is useful to Windows Vista Users.
