How do open a scanned doc with Word?
You'll need OCR software so that you can convert the document into a format
that Word can read. You may find such software on the disc that came with your scanner. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "vwj" wrote in message ...

How do open a scanned doc with Word?
Word can't open either of those file types. You can Insert them into a Word
document for viewing & printing purposes but they will be displayed as graphic objects. Also, only the first page of a multi-page PDF will display.
