Hi George, With my old HP scanner I had to scan and save the document to a file (Paperport) first then open it with the OCR program. I don't know if your's works the same on not.

I am trying to scan a page but nothing is working. Here's what I do. 1. I put the paper face down in the scanner. 2. I select OCR from the Action Manager32 menu. 3. It scanners the document, and opens either WordPad or MS word. All I get is a blank page. NOTE It's working ok with photos. George ~*~*~*~*~ Was this forwarded to you? Want to subscribe?
