First let me make clear that there is no such thing as a "Windows 7
version of Office". Windows and Office are completely separate
products that are not linked version-to-version. The current retail
version of Office is Office 2007, while Office 2010 is currently
available as a public beta. Either or both versions of Office will run
on Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, etc.

If you have Office 2007, then Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI)
is present on the distribution CD but it isn't installed by default.
You have to rerun the installer and do a custom install, explicitly
choosing MODI to "run from my computer". See
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...x#BKMK_Removed
for some added information.

In Office 2010, MODI has been removed completely -- see
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l...ice.14%29.aspx.
If that's what you're using, you'll have to get some non-Microsoft OCR
software.
