OCR

[Guest]

I am not computer savy. I have installed Windows Vista and Office 2007 but I
cannot figure out how to do OCR with the new software, which used to be so
simple with previous versions. Any ideas?

I don't believe Office supports OCR, that's a third-party software
application.

Thanks , Richard!

I continued playing around and I think I figured it our:
1. save document as Tiff. file
2. open Microsoft office document imaging (from "search options")
3. press the eye icon (OCR)
4. export to word

I don't believe Office supports OCR, that's a third-party software
application.

Well, that would answer that, wouldn't it? Glad you figured it out.
