Document scanning in Office 2007

[anna]

My scanning program crashes soon I press scan button. I have Office 2007
running on XP OS.
I cannot also run the OCR with this. Contacting the OCR vendor ABBYY learnt
that the issue is with Office 2007 SP1.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Not all ABBYY products are compatible with Office 2007, which version do you
have?

Office 2007 has scanning and OCR support by default, tried using this?

why don’t you try scanning using the Windows Image Acquisition function
instead of the normal driver of your scanner?

How to do this?

download irfanview http://www.filehippo.com/download_irfanview/

install it and then run it

go to FILE > select TWAIN source and look to see if you have an item listed
ther that has WIA in its name

select that, then from irfanview again

go to FILE > ACQUIRE

press OK and then scan

that should scan your image and put it into irfanview

then go to file and save it

tell me if this helps

My ABBYY was for XP.
However, I wanted to scan using window's default scanning function. Even
that is not working. It crashes immediately after I click to scan.

Hi,
I found that there is a 'IrfanView 4.23' free download and a photoplus 6
free down load in the link you suggested. Which one should i download?
Secondly which 'file' didi you mean in "..go to FILE > select TWAIN source
..." in your post - the IE top left corner one?
