Scan to ON for Paperless Filing--> auto-crop

[jeremyj]

I'm starting to use ON2007 more and more and my latest trial has been
to use it as an archive system for bills, receipts, etc. Right now, I
use "scan into ON" for each page of a bill.

For some reason my scanner is auto-cropping what I scan into ON. I'm
running VISTA and there seems to be no place that I can find to un-
check/check this action. Scanner is MP390. The result is that each
scan gives me a different size image in ON. Ideally, with this setup,
I'd like to be able to "reconstitute" my files into paper if needed,
but this doesn't seem to be possible as is.

jeremyj
is Scan to ON part of Vista or ON or your specific scanner?

part of ON.

Here's an experiment I've just tried.

1.) scan document using MS Document Scanner
2.) check document... looks perfect
3.) insert file into ON page using option "insert as file copy"
4.) later, return to this icon and right-click. choose option to
insert as printout.
5.) now I have an icon of the embedded .tiff and below it is a
printout of the same file.
6.) the printout is AUTO-CROPPED now, whereas the embedded original is
not.

This kinda sucks if I can't turn this auto-crop business off. I've
gone through all the settings and see nothing regarding this. It
really messes up the image and leaves out important details of the
document that may be close to a margin.

hmm. I am not seeing this behavior. What happens when you just print the
document (from within Microsoft Office Document Imaging) to the "Send to
OneNote" printer?

I've gone back through all this and realize I can't reproduce this
last behaviour either. I now believe the unwanted auto-crop behaviour
only happens when using the feature "scan to onenote". Not sure if
it's my own scan driver or what, but I've never had this problem with
scanning before.
