Scanning a legal size image
I am using a scanjet 5550c and Office XP and trying to insert, from the
scanner, a legal size document as an image. The problem is that the image is cropped to fit 8.5 X 11, and I cannot find an option in the custom insert dialogue that will allow me to scan in a legal size image. If I use the software that came with the scanner I can successfully scan a legal size image, then I can insert it into Word. Since I would like to automate this process with a macro I would like to be able to do this from within Word. Is there any way to accomplish this? |

Hi Hotwire,
In File=Page Setup, what is the paper size set to in the document you're scanning to? Are you using the optional install MS Office XP Document scanning feature presets ?

The paper size of the document I am scanning to is Legal. The optional
install is available, but I am not using it. I click Insert, Picture, From Scanner and Camera wizard to open the scan dialogue. If I select custom insert from there I cannot find a legal size option, just A4 or smaller.
