Office 2007 Document Scanning to Word defaults to HTML format insteadof Word format

D

I am using Office 2007 Document Scanning to perform OCR. When I
select the 'send to word' button I wish it would launch word and
simply put the data into a blank document.

Instead it...

1. automatically saves the document as an HTML file and creates a
subfolder for any graphics
2. chooses a name for it based upon some text in the document (awlays
the wrong choice).
3. then opens it in word.

This is miserable because first I don't want an HTML file I want a
word document. Secondly I would like to choose the name of the file
and save it myself.

At this point I have to scan, send to word, re-save it as a word
document, then go delete the original html file and subfolder. This
is ok for me but a PITA for my clients to understand. Microsoft
almost nailed it as being such a simple process if they would have
only made it launch to word as a new unsaved document.

Is there a way to correct this? I don't see any relevant options to
adjust.

Much Appreciated.
