To start the scanner, Try this:




Start > Programs > MS Office > MS Office Tools > MS Clip Organizer

Click File, click Add Clips to Organizer, and then click From Scanner or Camera.

HI! Thanks, do you know if its possible to create a macro to do all the steps needed to get there and have it placed on the "Quick Access toolbar"?

I tried your suggestion and it takes 5 steps just to get to the scanning software. then ( after the scanner has scanned the image) one must click on the scanning folder and scroll to find it and then select it or drag it to the document.

Before it was 2 or 3 clicks and after the scanner was done the image was placed automatically in the document.

There must be a better way than this. (not to criticize you, I know your just trying to help) but someone in the ms-word programming team obviously was short sited on this. If they really had to remove it then they should have at least added it as a command in the "Quick Access Toolbar"
But if there is way to call an external program (like my scanner software) then insert the image into the document (like word 2003 did) then that would be the next best thing for me I guess.

I think I smell API Functions in the air! or is it Catnip!

I wonder if they added this option back in or made it simpler in word 2010?
