Default Scanning into Word 2007

Hi Alan,

This is basically a peer support discussion group so not sure what 'attitude' you (plural) are referring to or what is getting
'worse and worse'.

The OCR capabilities of Microsoft Office are the same in Office 2003 and in Office 2007, in part because there are a number of 3rd
party apps that are available for enterprise use and/or that come with the printer scanner hardware.

This is getting worse and worse. So even OCR isn't automatic, and has to go
through yet another stage?

My company - with my full support and in part on my advice - has decided to
return to Office 2003 for the moment, and is evaluating other options like
OpenOffice and StarOffice. This wasn't the only issue we have with Office
2007, but it was the one that made it economically unusable. We do
consultancy for other companies, and we are advising them to take the same
route.

We find Microsoft's attitude on this incredible.
