Document Merge Question

[Maurice]

Working with Word 2007. Scanned a multipage document with optical character
recognition which rendered each page as a separate word document. Is there a
way to merge the text in order so that I can recovert the complet document in
word.

 

[Peter T. Daniels]

You can place the cursor at the end of the file for the first page and
go to Insert tab > Object (almost at the right end) > Text from file,
and browse for the next page. Your cursor will be at the end of the
two-page file, so do it again, etc.

--

If perchance you used Microsoft Document Imaging to OCR your text, you
can do this before you do the OCRing, by choosing "Insert file ..."
from the menu at the left and selecting each page image. You then
won't have a multiplicity of Word files to keep track of.

Presumably other OCR programs can also assemble documents from
individual page-images as well.

Click Start>All Programs>Microsoft Office>Microsoft Office Tools and
see if you don' already have it. I think you should if you did a
normal install of your office suite.

My copy seems to be left over from Office2003 (I didn't uninstall
Office2003, just the components I never used, because I wanted to keep
Word and PowerPoint in case compatibility problems turned up [they
didn't]); or did it not get the 2007 GUI when the main programs did?

 

[Greg Maxey]

I don't know. Like you, I didn't uninstall Office2003 when I installed
Office2007. I know I used it before 2007 and I don't know if it is part of
the 2007 suite. Another possibility, and this is a guess, is that it may
not appear if the Windows Fax and Scanner software is not installed.

The version supplied with Office 2007 does not have the new user interface -
but I don't believe it is installed by default.
If you click 'About' from the Document Imaging Help menu the version should
include the Office number.

Lookit that, it's v.11. Where did they hide the "About" info in W2007?
Were there any improvements in MDI 12?

I don't think there *is* an MODI 12. For "about Microsoft Office Word 2007,"

The version installed from Office 2007 reports the version as 12. Whether
there are improvements I cannot say - it is not a function I use.

Ah, okay, so it does exist. I guess it's something else I was thinking of
that was omitted from some version or other.
