Yes, I can understand that. We do that too for whole documents.
But a lot of our work involves an outer document with several long citations
from paper documents.
In the past, we've written the outer document in Word, inserting the
citations directly from the scanner as needed. It seems now we will have to
scan each potential citation source as a separate Word document first, and
then cut-and-paste. This is itself slow, it will encourage unnecessary
scanning, and inevitably a citation will have been overlooked and will have
to be scanned and saved and opened. All of this wil massively increase our
turnround time.
I'm wondering if there is a Visual Basic solution, but that will cost money,
as well.

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

side or am I at the mercy of HP?
