I have just up-graded from Office 2003 to 2007 & I know I am getting on
a bit but I cannot see how to scan a document or picture from my
scanner into word....It was simple in 2003 (put doc in scanner - open
word - insert from scanner or camera- done)...Help
please...Thanks...Telboy
 
The Insert button might be unavailable with some scanners because the
scanner software doesn't support an automatic scan. Use the Custom Insert
button instead.
 
I can't even see any of the options Mark...Where do I look for them...A
totally different set-up to 2003
 
I can't tell you why they removed this feature from 2007, but this is from
the Word 2007 Help File:

"What happened to the From Scanner or Camera option for adding pictures to a
document?

The From Scanner or Camera option for adding pictures to a document is not
available in Microsoft Office Word 2007. Instead, you can add pictures from
your camera or scanner by downloading the pictures to your computer first and
then copying them from your computer into Word.

After you download a picture to your computer, do the following:

On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click Picture.
Locate the picture that you want to add to your document, and then click
Insert."

HTH,

Thanks Elkar....Why they have to alter, what was an easy system, I do
not know. Anyhow, thanks to your advice I have got it sorted.
