I believe that I have been to that spot. It is a combo box with about
twenty different selections of programs and file extensions. There didn't
however, appear to be any way of selecting them, i.e., no check boxes, etc.
I'll go looking again. Having you in my corner has given me a renewed sense
of energy and optimism.
Thanks

Your on the rite track now you need to find the spot where there is a list
and you arrow through the list and there are other settings for things like
word, excel, pdf, and you need to set the one for word to scan for new
image. The general one is for the software if you run it from the onmie page
window.

Thanks,
I had gone to the Tools menu in Omni Page, in the options menu I selected
general options. Enable direct OCR was already checked. I had looked at
this before based on reading the manual using Open Book. I'm not entirely
sure that this is what you are referring to.

Jeff,
Open the onmie program and go and find the prefferances for the program and
or the scanner and tell it you wish to scan a new doc when using word. It is
set up to look for a pre scanned image by defalt.

Hi,
I'm a new member. I've been using Open Book for many years. It seemed the
path of least resistance. If you are blind, you use Open Book. I was never
entirely pleased with it and a friend who is a computer access trainer for
the VA suggested Omni Page Pro v.16. It allows you to go directly to any
of about a dozen programs which you have selected. A menu item has
appeared, in MS Word, for example, which tells the program to "acquire text
from Omni Page". I had my first version installed by an IT guy and it
worked like a dream. I could just click on that menu item, the document
would be scanned and it would appear in Word in .doc format. It was fast
and extremely accurate. I've set it up on my home pc and when I click on
that command I get a box asking me to select a document already on my pc.
I've been tinkering with it all weekend to no avail. If anyone has any
experience with this OCR program, I would be extremely grateful for any
assistance.
Thanks,
Jeff
