Why can I no longer scan a document into word so it can be edited?

There are a few versions of microsoft, I was able to scan a document in word format.  Once scanned, it could be open in word and edited.  I can find is no longer a way to do this.  Is it still possible?

Yes, but you need an OCR [optical character recognition] application to do.

OCR takes a picture & transformed into characters - Word can handle only once this task is completed.

It wasn't a word that makes the task of scanning-OCR for you.

Many scanners come with a bundled OCR application.

  • want to scan document into word document, says I need XP Professional with FrontPage?

    I want to be able to scan a document into a Word document.   I'm going to start, programs, and he said: scanning of document, but when it initializes said he needs from XP Professional with FrontPage?   where can I download it so I can use the digitization of documents?

    New - depends on the software.  You did not mention the manufacturer or model of the scanner in question - so - even though it is highly unlikely that it's a Microsoft product, no one here can guide you directly to the manufacturer of products FAQ and manuals and forums and others for you show where you can get more information about how to use the scanner in question in the way you want to use.

    So, to simplify things:

    (1) what is the brand of scanner and the model?

    (2) have you installed all the drivers and the software of scanner said manufacturer?

  • Why can't edit my contacts to search with the new ios 10.0.1

    Why can't edit my contacts to search with the new ios 10.0.1

    It seems they have changed the way search works after the update. You can always edit contacts by opening the Contacts app, then open the contact you want to change. We do not know why they made the change, but unfortunately it is out of our reach. I don't know that they had a reason for this. If this is not the case, they will probably patch in an another mini update.

    I use a HP Officejet 6480 and analyze in a document in word, so I can add and change the text. When I check the help button it tells me to save in a TXT file. When I go to start this process it doesn't give me that option. How should I proceed with this process to accomplish what I need to do.

    Thank you JD

    Please specify JD,

    Make sure that the HP Solution Center is narrow.

    Launch the installation of the HP software, then select install additional software.

    In the list, make sure you select the playback Iris OCR software and complete the installation.

    Now you should see options to scan a Document TXT and RTF.

    IF you no longer have the installation of the HP software, you can download it below:

  • All-in - one Photosmart C8180: I'm unable to use the HP Solution Center to scan a document into the computer.

    I downloaded the updated driver that is located on the HP site for this printer. I uninstalled and installed this driver three times. I keep getting an error message when I use the HP Solution Center to scan a document to a PDF file. I restarted the program, rebooted the computer and reinstalled the software, as had been suggested in the error message.  I'm losing my patience! Anyone have any ideas as to the cause and the solution to this problem?

    Hi @AMDK,

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    This is a document of support that has alternatives for scanning when Windows 10 does not work with the software of the printer - Scanner without HP (Windows 10) software.

  • HP 3511 scan several documents into one file

    How to scan several documents in the same file to my HP3511?  I am running Windows 7.

    This printer does not have an automatic feeding for print/copy/scan.  Is it possible to do without it?

    Thank you.  I always do the printer instead of the computer, so that it is useful!  Unfortunately, it works to scan; However, it would still not save them all as a single file.  I went back and checked the advanced settings, and is not checked to create a separate file.  He has created a file for all 5 pages.  He was using the file name I gave him and then added extensions 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004 and 0005.

    Ugh.  I'll try again.

  • Why can't edit in Photoshop more

    I have reinstalled Photoshop CS5 and LR4.2RC on a new drive. But now I can't edit in Photoshop from LR. I'm doing something wrong? It worked well before (except for getting the "Render in Lightroom" thing because of the differnece in versions of process). Using Windows 7 Prof Cntrl E is no longer works and edit in Photoshop is grayed out on the menu drop down. Both work independently very well. Maybe a setting in LR? Thanks for help.

    Hello

    We are really sorry for all the inconveniences that made you.

    Assuming you are using Windows machine please follow the steps below:

    On Windows, try the following solutions in the order:

    Solution 1: Uninstall and reinstall Photoshop.  Any information that has been damaged since Photoshop has been installed is re-created.

    Solution 2: Re-create the key of registry Photoshop.exe application path.

    WARNING: This procedure involves editing the Windows registry. Adobe provides no support for editing the registry, which contains critical system and application information. Make sure you back up the registry before you edit. For more information about the registry, see the Windows documentation or contact Microsoft.

    Quit Photoshop and Lightroom.

    Click Start > run. If you have not enumerated Run, see what happened to the command run?

    Type "regedit" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box, and then click OK to start the Windows Registry Editor.

    Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Paths\.

    Right click on the App Paths folder and choose new > key.

    Type "Photoshop.exe" (without the quotes) as the name of the new key, and then press ENTER.

    Right click the Photoshop.exe file and choose new > string value.

    Type "Path" (without the quotes) as the name of the new value, and then press ENTER.

    In the right pane of the registry, right click on the (default) value and click on modify.

    In the value data field, enter the location of the Photoshop.exe file on your computer. Include Photoshop.exe at the end of the path. For example, if you installed Photoshop CS5 in the default location, type C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop

    CS5\Photoshop.exe. If you have another version of Photoshop or installed in a different directory, change the path as appropriate.

    Click OK.

    In the right pane of the registry, right click on the value of path and click on modify.

    In the value data field, enter the path for the file Photoshop.exe on your computer. (This path is the same as you have entered in step 10, except omit Photoshop.exe from the end). For example, if you have installed Adobe Photoshop CS5 in the default location, type C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\. If you have another version of Photoshop or installed in a different directory, change the path as appropriate.

    Click OK.

    At the same time if these steps does not resolve your problems you can contact Adobe support by following the link below:

  • HP Deskjet 3050 a J611 series All in One scan a document into pieces. Why?

    I'm scanning to a Mac.  The first document scanned in one piece.  I scanned the front and back.  It was the paper stock. Very robust.  Whenever I scan it it scans an entire document.  All other pieces of paper scan into pieces.  Please let me know what I am doing wrong.  Thank you

    Thank you very much for your answer.  Yesterday, I actually found a similar question in this forum which was answered by ShlomiL and that solved my problem.  On my MAC, I had to go in utility scan and look for scan tasks and then analyse shortcuts, menu drop down then to reframe and select None.  It worked perfectly.  I'm sorry I did not return to my question and let you know that I got the answer.  I really appreciate the time.

    Thank you

    file rather than a doc file can also be read in Word and will

    2. If the scanned file is an image (for example, a .jpg file) file, you can
    paste it into a Word document as an image. But if you do that, you
    will not be able to change the text so that you probably don't want to
    do; You can change the text, but you cannot modify an image of the text.
