Hello everyone,

I just changed my computer.
And I no longer have a certain application:

If I scan a page of text, for example, I put it in a folder! I don't know what to do with it! Except transfer it in full!

With the previous function, I could scan several pages in a row and transfer them by copy/paste onto a Word page, and work on it like ordinary text. Delete, correct mistakes, copy/paste a paragraph, etc.

I found "CONVERT WORKS DOCUMENTS TO WORD FORMAT" but I can't achieve the desired result.

(Microsoft Office Word 2003 Home

Thank you for shedding some light on this for me.
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

A Cesel 45 and Lapaumée, a big thank you, it's resolved!
The problem is that the path you gave me is different from what I had!
The second issue, during the installation of the scanner, one of the functions was not saved, and O.C.R. was not working.
I re-installed the scanner, no more issues.
(this is for your information.
Thank you, have a good day and good luck.

Hello,

I have a problem. I am using Open Office. I want to send my CV as an attachment, but everyone I send my email to tells me they can't read it and they ask me to resend it in WORD format.

Do I need a converter or do I need to buy Windows XP?

Thank you for your much-anticipated responses.

Good evening,

You need to save your document with the .doc extension which will allow it to be opened with Word.

See you later

Hello, I have a big issue when I scan a text and image document of 37 pages; it is saved as a PDF and I can't edit the text. How can I get it directly into Word so I can modify it? Thank you for your answers.

Oceane, (nice name) Hello,

Follow the instructions in the message above strictly!
It worked for me!

If not, let me know, I will try to find another way!
Or ask your dealer!
Or type
"Convert scanned page to word document"
on Google!

Good luck.

But when you scan, don't you have the option to send the scanned page(s) to word through one of the above icons: file - edit, view, or tools? (I can't remember which one) but it's mentioned on one of those!

(What brand of scanner?)

Thank you for your response. The brand of my scanner is an HP PSC 1500 series. When I scan, there are no icons for file, edit, view or tools. Please help me, I've been working on this since this morning and I'm a bit fed up. Thank you very much.

Hello
The scan is an image
Get informed about OCR character recognition

Out of politeness, don't leave the person who helped you unanswered. A little word encourages.

Hello,

You need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software like ABYY Fine Reader or ReadIris that can export your scan into a word processor so you can edit it.
