I do this by scanning into Adobe Acrobat (Writer, not Reader), which allows me to merge multiple scans into one file on-the-fly. I don't OCR it, though, since this is for archiving purposes, so it's not ideal for dox that will be edited much. I'm sure there's a lot of other ways to do this, too, and this is the one I've come up with. Pete -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of George Sent: Monday, April 21, 2003 11:56 AM To: Microsoft Office Subject: [mso] Scanning Documents We are trying to archive paper documents to CD to reduce paper files. I would like to scan documents that are several pages long. My scanner only scans one page at a time. If I scan as a Word document, how do I get all the pages as a single file and not multiple files? I would prefer to have one document that is ten pages rather than ten files of say, doc_abc_page_1_of_10.doc, etc. Anyone got any ideas?
