Scanning with Office 2016 (Publisher???)

Hello,

I'm desperately trying to scan a document with Office 2016. The "insert\image\from scanner" command that used to be in MS Publisher (in previous Office versions) has simply disappeared: it was just too simple.
Can someone give me a tip, if there is one? Or can you suggest a software that simply does this (in French) with a "scanner" or "acquire" command...?
Thanks in advance
Christian

    Hello kidordine34,

    this feature has been gone for several versions now (2007 I believe).
    There were workarounds by installing the utility found in previous versions. You could also go through OneNote, but it has been removed from the 2016 version.

    If you have Windows 10, you can use the "Windows Fax and Scan" command.

      kidordine34,

      A small correction:
      the command "Windows Fax and Scan" is also present in Windows 7 and later.

      An alternative:
      scan from the small Paint software (installed with Windows):
      menu or tab [File] | "From scanner or camera"
