Hi Peter,
The tools are not in Word. They are in the shortcuts in Microsoft Office
Tools under the Microsoft Office shortcut group. Microsoft Document Imaging
is the tool you want to try.

What OCR facilities are built into MS Word and where do you find this?  I

If someone wants to submit a sample, I can run it through the PDF tools
that
come with OmniPage 15.  Also, someone else should run the sample through
the
image printer and OCR built into MS Word.
