How to use Microsoft Office Document Imaging Object in VB

[Ready To Retire]

I was doing some research on how to automate the process through VB, of taking Mulitple Tiffs and merging them into one tiff, and allowing OCR.

I found Microsoft Document Imaging under Office Tools.

This software allowed me to

1) open a tif
2) insert one or more tiff
3) recognize text through OC
4) allowed me to save to a new file which contained the multiple tiffs.

I did this manually to make sure this function is what I was looking for

Through my research I found out that there is a library called Microsoft Office Document Imaging 11.0 Type Library, but can only be found by ugrading to service pack 3 and upgrading to Office Tools 2003. I did both, and am able to find the library

I tried to use this library through VB

I am unable to automate the previous 4 steps using this library in VB.

Is there a way to automate this process

Thanks in advance......
