Office Document Imaging (MODI) and html

[Constitution]

I am automating some features of Office 2003 using visual c++. Having
searched the internet, I can't find a solution to this:

How can I automate MODI to perform OCR on an image, and then export an
html file? The GUI for MODI has a button for this, which saves the
html file and opens Word. But programmatically, I can't figure it out.
It seems all you can do is access plain text.

Thanks in advance.

Hi 'Constitution'

I don't recall if this is covered in the MODI object model
or not, but it's available here -

Bob,

Yes, that link will take you to the docs. But they seem mysteriously
lacking in this area.

Clearly, the standalone imaging app in Office 2003 can export
recognized text to html (which is opened by Word) but the object model
seems to export only the proprietary format (.mdi), which is unreadable
by anything.

???

Constitution,
It seems MODI is lacking much of the functionality. I am using MODIViewer in
my application to open the .mdi file. It seems the MODIViewer component is
not releasing the handle to the file even after I issue MODIDOCument.close()
command. But once I close the application, the handle to the file is released.

Haven't got any help from MODI object model references.

Is anybody aware if microsoft have released the newer version of MODI?

Thanks,

Rahul
