Hi Richard, if your friend looks at ABBYY Fine Reader quick tasks submenu on the start menu the fourth option down is scan to Microsoft Word. I'm running XP, so if your friend's running W7 the route to the quick tasks submenu may well be different.

I'm using version 8, which has an automation manager which just scans to Word, among other useful options. Any tips on set up and use would be gratefully received.
