Copy &amp; Paste: Isn't there ANY way to take a scanned image of a text document and do a "copy" and "paste" into an M/S WORD doc?

I was able to save to a word document using scansoft ominpage SE 4, which is bundled with the driver for the MX310. I had to start the program, set it up to use the scanner(which was pretty easy), then use the program to do the scan and save to document type word(*.doc). There are many document types that omnipage will save to.

Not sure, my scanner has the software to create scanned docs into PDF format. I use this software to convert MS Office files to PDF.

save each to an output such as a PDF, then merge with a software tool. Other option is to scan each and save as jpeg or other picture format, then copy/paste to MS Word and print.

No, but there are ways to do that. It would require setting up rules using optical character recognition to file them for you. Not easy to do. Useful if you're scanning large quantities of documents. I scan all documents to a single "Action" folder and name them with keywords I've decided on and the date. When I'm in the mood, I file them into the appropriate folders.

I have experienced some of the same problems when I've attempted to scan copies of documents on my printer that are written in pencil and/or not of very good quality in their printing. The solution for me was to use the scan function via my computer, then save it to a folder, and print it from there. That way, the quality was better and easier to discern. I'm not sure why this works when simply scanning from the printer does not, but it worked for me.

Yes, I have scanned documents with it as well. It does not convert them to a PDF file though.

Yes, the "pen" will place the scanned text at the cursor location. The text is then part of the file into which it was inserted.

Assuming you use windows you highlight the images (Ctrl+A to select all) then cut (ctrl+x) then go to the disc and paste in it (ctrl+v) There are other methods with which you can google

What feature are you scanning them with? PDF? I use PDF. You can try to manually copy and paste onto your computer with the usb wire that they have. I usually do that and they come out as intended of an actual size paper.

Jim,Annoying for sure. However, Pages does readily read/convert Word documents. So simply save your scan as a .doc or .docx and ask Pages to open the Existing Document. Once open you can edit as needed and save it as a Pages document if you want. Hope this is helpful.T

You can append pdf, but you have to switch software. I scan docs with the ScanSnap S1500 manager (from button in tray) then use Paperport 14 for manipulating and filing - if necessary. It would be preferable if it had a twain driver so I could do everything from within Paperport. But relatively speaking, this is a minor incovenience - for me. I can see it could be a bit of a headache for others.

Absolutely!! I just did it again to make sure I answered your question properly. Plug it in, open your file, select it and copy it. Then you can paste it in any other file in your Mac. I love this little item. And the guy from whom I purchased it was quick delivering it. Good luck.

I'm not sure how I got included in the reply group--don't own, did not review. However, in the description the following text should answer the question. I can't imagine ADF would work for copy but not for scan--because, in effect, scan precedes copy. Fast and convenient walk-up copying either using the 50-page auto document feeder

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

I have scanned in single sheets and put each as a document into a file. I have not scanned in multiple sheets as one document to put in a file, so I don't know if that's possible. Sorry I can't help more.

Transfer the scanned docs to your computer and use the computers printer. If you have a printer that will let you read the micro disk, that would work also.

Simply place your document on the scanner's glass and then initiate the OCR scan from the HP Device Manager. The IRIS software really does the work for you and will place the scanned text into a Microsoft Word document or an ASCII text file. This version of IRIS seems more intuitive than previous versions. Once the text appears in your word processing document, you can edit it from there.
