I remember in one of the previous versions of office, it came with a small
text recognition program as part of it. We are at Office 2007 now, does it
have any way of doing that still?
 
Office 2007 (not sure if all versions include it) has Microsoft Office
Document Imaging, which does include OCR. While some say it's not great, it
has been adequate for my needs. Look in the Microsoft Office Tools programs
folder.
 
Imaging, yeah thats what it was called. It was pretty basic but it seemed to
work for what I needed also. I dont seem to have that in my 2007 tools
folder though, will see if its something I can add from the CD
 
yep, it needed to be installed, saw it in the list of add ons. One more
question, how do you get to it? I still dont see it in my tools folder
though, how else can you get to it?
 
I didn't do anything special in my installation (except adding various
languages), and I find it in Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office >
Microsoft Office Tools (at the bottom of the list) > Microsoft Office
Document Imaging.
