document imaging

[katiebug7n10]

I have microsoft office 2000 on my computer and am wanting to edit
documents that i have scanned. i have read through all of the forums and
have tried all of the suggestions and have discovered that i dont have ocr or
document imaging on my computer. Is there an update, download or something i
can do to put this on my computer without having to buy office 2007?

Nope, Office 2000 does not have that capability, and cannot be "updated"
to have that capability. Not including Office 2007, you may look for
Office 2003, Office XP , Omniform or any othe product that provides OCR
capability.

ok, i will try to find a copy of office 2007 that i can afford. thank you

 

[Bob I]

You're welcome, as I said though, you don't have to have Office 2007.
There are alternative. So you may buy Office 2007 if you want the other
features it provides.

ok, i found a copy of 207 but it wont open. it say that i dont have a rar to
open it with. now i am more confused than ever. what is a rar and where do
i get it? i have gone to a couple of sites to look for it and they say i can
download it for free and when i have, it is just a scanning thing that tells
me everything that is wrong on the computer. can you help?

Legal copies of Office are never in .rar files.

That is a bogus Office. I hope you may cancel any charges or recover any
money you have spent.
