Scanning document into microsoft word 2010

Since you have Office , you have built in OCR. After you get a scanned image, select and copy it, then paste it into OneNote. After it has been pasted into OneNote, right click on it and select "Copy text from Picture".

You can now paste the extracted text into word. You will have to carefully review it and spell check it. Depending on the quality of the original image OCR programs have problems interpretting the text so sometimes the output spelling errors.

I do not know if something went wrong while creating the Macro step, but I really need this to be fix! Then i tried second one,step by step ,after finished all steps the scan button appears in insert menu in ms word ,then i click on scan button ,but noting happens ,what is the problem.

Always learning. Both worked great! Thanks for sharing! You left out some steps. What can I say but thank you very much. You saved my day. How can I get a macro to run in excel — Application.
