Does anyone know how to scan a document with the HP PSC 1200 all in one, in word and edit it?

Question

I am trying to scan a document. In word if it stays in the exact format as the original I am unable to edit it. If the format changes and just the words are transfered, then I can edit. My goal is to keep the format and edit. Has anyone had experience with this?

Answer 1

after you scan it,save it to word.when you have it up in word,hit file on your taskbar and save as.then put it into a new folder.

Answer 2

Are you scanning as "editable text."

You should have run through all the options and settings and chosen to have documents scanned as OCR and opened in a Word document.

Open the HP Director. (There should be an icon on your desktop.)

Click Scan Settings & Preferences
click Document Settings
Scan as editable text
Set resolution at about 300

click Editable Text Settings tab
set OCR language as English


W hen it opens in Word, immediately use File, Save As to open the "save as" dialog box. Indicate where you want to save it, give it a name, and be sure to indicate type as Word document.

Usually, it is not perfect. You must go through it for misspellings as some characters do not transfer well and any tiny mark on the paper will scan as a tilde or something. Simply reformat as you wish.
