Hi, What I meant by scanning into word is I would place the paper in the scanner, open up word, click on the file menu and click on scan using open book. I have more comfort using word seeing as my knoledge in using Duxbury is minimal seeing as I rarily use it. I just wanted to learn more to better my skills and keep a job!:) I wish I had materials to read while at home due to me teaching all day at work there is simply no time to read.
