That KB doesn't really give any explanation as to why this could be the
reason. It just describes how to scan in Office 2003 and 2007.
My guess why they provided you with that KB is: Office 2003 has its own
scanning software built-in. That wizard was removed in Office 2007, but
not completely. It was actually added to OneNote 2007 and remained in
the clipart gallery software. For all the other Office 2007 programs
though, you need to use the scanning software provided by the
manufacturer or by Windows. My guess is that your manufacturer's
software somehow ties into the now-removed Office scanning module and
its non-existence causes it to crash.
If you haven't tried removing, reboot and reinstalling the scanner
software/driver, I'd try that first.
Also, when you select a source, see if there is a TWAIN option there.
TWAIN is the standard API for scanners, so if you can scan via that one,
you'd be avoiding the piece that probably relies on the Office module.
If none of that helps, then I would keep bugging the manufacturer.
Citing a KB that just describes how scanning works in Office 2003 and
2007 sounds to me like they know their software has a compatibility
problem and they either don't feel like fixing it, don't know if they'll
fix it or when or just don't know what is going on.

Sorry, that reply sounded snotty! I usually try everything before I ask. I
did talk to technical support from my scanner's manufacturer and they say it
is a Microsoft issue related to

Have you looked for newer scanning drivers/software already?

Select Microsoft Office Document Scanning. Select either black & white or
color. Click Scan. (the scanner is already preselected). At that point,
the program crashes and asks me if I want to send the info to microsoft.

We are starting to upgrade from Office 2003 to 2007. Everything works great
except for the document scanning. Whenever you try to scan from our Canon
printer, the program shuts down. I can scan into the clip organizer with no
problem and 2003 version worked ok too.
I downloaded firmware for our printer dated 4/30/07 so I am sure it is the
latest and greatest. Plus, it works for clips, like I said. Here is a blurb
from the event log message:
Faulting application mspscan.exe, version 12.0.4518.1014, stamp 4541757d,
faulting module msvcr80.dll, version 8.0.50727.762, stamp 45712238, debug? 0,
fault address 0x00014ca3.
Any ideas?
