scanning to word
Using document scan in XP I scanned a document into Document Imaging then ran
OCR. On the tools menu I selected Send to Word. The document went to Word, but was so far out of scale it could not be edited. How do I send an OCR TIF document to word? -- Jeff Harriman |

The result of the OCR processing will be an HTML file with the same name, which should be in the same folder as the TIF. In Explorer, right-click the .htm file and select Open With... Word. You can edit that file and save it as a .doc file. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

If you opened the HTML file in Word, there is no such thing as
"scale". If the zoom control is set to 100%, the text will be whatever size is set in your Normal style -- probably 12 pt. If you're seeing something much larger, you must have opened a graphic image. Give up on the "send to Word" command (I couldn't get it to work properly either) and just open the .htm from Explorer like I described before. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sun, 30 Jan 2005 19:33:49 -0800, "JBHarriman" wrote: Jay, document sent to word, but scale of the page was about three times to big. what happened?

Jay,
Thanks for your help, I'll take your advise and give up on sending to word, time to go to plan "B". "Jay Freedman" wrote: If you opened the HTML file in Word, there is no such thing as "scale".
