Question Insert image from Scanner option gone?

After looking for about an hour I finally read that the insert image from scanner or camera option is gone Ms Word 2007!.

The help file suggests to use Microsoft Office Document Imaging which means I now have more steps to take to accomplish the same task. Although you can make a editable document in it, it still means another program to switch back a forth to and from word if we prefer to use all the options that resides in Ms Word. So now that I have said my bit on the matter, here is my question.

QUESTION:
1:Is there a way that I can have a button/icon in the "Quick Access Bar" to call my scanner driver or software via macro or external link like the previous word 2003 did?

2: If the above is not possible then is it possible to have a button/icon call Microsoft Document Imaging?

The first option is the best as this would mean the less steps needed to accomplish the task. (If it could insert the image into the document as well then it would be identical to word 2003).

PS. I very surprised that the programmers would removed the scanner and camera options and further more without even adding a "Quick Access command" to Microsoft Office Document Imaging, after all they did add Excel, Access, PowerPoint, ect.. or is it me that's missing something here?

Does this help?

To insert an image from a scanner into a Word 2007 document, follow these steps:
  1. Start Word 2007.
  2. On the Insert tab, click Clip Art.
  3. In the Clip Art pane, click Organize clips.
  4. On the File menu, point to Add Clips to Organizer, and then click From Scanner or Camera.
  5. Select the image, click Add, and then close Microsoft Clip Organizer.

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?

Smile You got it! The key combo WORKS - SOLVED

Yep, it works. Your the Queen Kimberly!

I recorded a macro using the keystrokes that you provided and looked at the code. The actual command is "WordBasic.InsertImagerScan"

'-----Start of Macro-----------

Sub Insert_picture_using_scanner()
WordBasic.InsertImagerScan
End Sub

'------end of Macro-------

During the creation of the Macro ( As soon as you click record ) you must "Store Macro in: All Documents (Normal.dotm)" so that it can be available to all documents. then in the same box, I assigned it to a button then chose a title and Icon, and Vola!

Now it's even better than before. its only 3 clicks to get the picture inserted into the document from the scanner.

Now we are cooking with gas, Catnip anyone

For what it is worth, this (ALT i p s) does not work for me with Word 2010. Not sure if it is the product version, or unique to me. It does start the scanner, but then halts.

HI! since I know the command, I looked it up and found this article. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/realworld/360...to-word-2010/2 Microsoft took out all access to the scanner EXCEPT for the (WordBasic.InsertImagerScan) command. You can try his program called "WordScan2010" http://www.pcpro.co.uk/links/191advoff4 or you can just create a macro and enter in the following. Sub InsertFromScanner() On Error Resume Next WordBasic.InsertImagerScan End Sub If your scanner worked with word 2007 before then there is a good chance that it will work using the command as the Word dev's did not remove it.

Ps. For some reason I can no longer get carriage returns in this forum so the code I pasted should have a carriage return after each line. eg.Sub InsertFromScanner() (carriage return) On Error Resume Next (carriage return) WordBasic.InsertImagerScan (carriage return) End Sub (carriage return) Paul D
