Document Image Writer in 2007

[ACP in JHB SA]

I have recently moved from Office 2003 to 2007 (my old PC still runs 2003),
and have found that I no longer appear to have Document Image Writer, which I
used extensively. Is it part of the 2007 suite (I hope so!)? If not, can
the 2003 driver run with 2007? If so, how?

If the answers to the above are NO (bummer!), is there an alternative
available? Commercial or free download? (Acrobat can be used but gives a
pretty cluggy image that has limited use.)

Help and suggestions will be gratefully received...

It's there, but is not installed by default. Go to the Control Panel,
Programs (in XP, it's Add or Remove Programs). Find Office 2007, click
Change. Choose Add or Remove Features, click Continue.

Expand Office Tools, then set Microsoft Office Document Imaging to Run
All..., or if you want only the Image Writer, expand the tree and enable
just that component. Click Continue, etc.

Thanks, Herb, it works like a dream!

As a matter of interest, when I changed the Office installation through
Control Panel, I instructed that the Image Writer and the Scan/etc be
installed, but I left off the "Help". No image writer appeared.

I went back to try again, and instructed to "Run all from my computer".
This time I got the Image Writer in the printer list. Great!

Thanks again!

Thanks, Herb, it works like a dream. I did find, however, that I had to
install all of the items under Imaging (Run all from my computer). The first
attempt, installing only the Image Writer, didn't seem to install the
writer...

Thanks again!
