You probably need to convert to an RTF File from the doc file. I had a file that I actually had to convert to a .doc file from my own scan and then convert to an .rtf file. The message you are going to get from scanning is that you will lose some attributes, but I don't think there is any choice. We have to do the conversion to .doc sometimes and then to .rtf because the direct conversions yield a bunch of garbage.
