If there is a better way, I don't know of it. Scanner support has been
dropped from Word 2007. Your scanner software may offer an option to scan
into Word document format.

I think there's a misunderstanding here. In older versions of Word there
was
an option to import TEXT from a scanner. That seems to have vanished
completely. All the replies seem to expect me to scan in my text
separately
to some other program and then copy-and-paste into Word - this is
impossibly
time consuming. There must be a better way.

I was able in word 2003 to scan directly into it from my scanner. Now
the
scanner software does not list word as an option because it is 2007. My
scanner is an hp 6310 all-in-one. Is there anything I can do from the
word
side or am I at the mercy of HP?
