Document scanned into Word
If I scan an A4 size document into Word it always scans as a smaller overall
size within an A4 document. Is there any way to scan so the resultant document is 100% of the original size? I am using an HP PSC2110 - should I be directing this question to HP? Thanks |

You're scanning it in as a picture and your page will have margins.

Document scanned into Word
In my experience, your results are a function of the scanning software
that comes with your HP scanner. I once had a HP Scanjet 4c that could optionally prescan a page and let me select the area that I actually wanted to scan into Word. Took a bit longer because each page got scanned twice (scanner does a preview scan, I select an area, scanner scans to Word). The Scanjet 4c could also scan a preset letter- or A4-size area. A coworker had a different HP scanner (an all-in-one printer/scanner/fax/copier thing) that would only scan a preset letter- or A4-size area (even if the page wasn't that big) and insert that into Word. If yours functions in this way, then in Word you can manually crop the unwanted white space around the image on each page, and resize the remainder to fill the page. In Word 2003 or earlier, you'll find a Crop tool on the Drawing toolbar (View | Toolbars | Drawing). In Word 2007, click on a scanned image, and click on Picture Tools: Format | Crop.

Thanks,
Just tried cropping & resizing, it worked perfectly. "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: In my experience, your results are a function of the scanning software that comes with your HP scanner.
