acquiring text from scanner

J

Jim Scott

In my previous version of Word (95), there was an option
Acquire in the file menu which fired up the scanner for
OCRing documents directly into Word. I can't find out how
to do this with Word 2002 with XP. I don't want to insert
a picture from scanner or camera - I want Word to work
with my OCR program. Help?

You may need to reinstall your OCR app to let it integrate with Word; but
very likely the add-in that was written for Word 95 will not work with Word
2002, so you may have to upgrade your OCR software as well.
