Title pretty much says it all. I take screen captures that are saved as
..tifs, and then open them up in Vista's MS Document Imaging porgram. I
right-click, select Copy, and this runs an OCR utility that ends up blocking
out the text in the tif. I right-click on that, and select Send text to
Word (or something like that); this opens up MS Word with the text inside
the document. That is fine--it functions surprisingly well for a free
utility with my OS.
The problem is that every time I do this, the Documents folder is littered
with an html file, along with an accompanying html folder, for each
different tif that I have saved. Any way to stop this program from making
these html folders? I don't ever tell the program to generate these. It
seems to happen automatically.The OCR utility is within the MS Document
Imaging program itself.
Word is not set to save anything as html by default, so I'm not sure why its
going to the trouble of doing this. However, when I choose "Send text to
Word," even though the text is opened up in Word, it is still an html
document, as I can't do the normal Word functions inside it--I have to copy
the text again, then paste it inside a "normal" Word document.
I looked inside the Word options (inside the Office orb) and didn't find any
way to stop Word (2007) from opening up the text in html, or from actually
placing the html file in my Documents folder (as opposed to simply putting
it in the temp files somewhere until I actually save it). Any suggestions?
