Hi:


I have a customer with one of those custom built PCs. It has an Intel
motherboard, 1gb ram and 80gb hard drive and is running Windows XP
Professional..fully updated with SP2. For reasons completely unrelated

to the HP 7130 All-in-one printer, it became necessary to reformat the
drive and reinstall the operating system and all associated software.


Before the reinstall, the customer was able to select Microsoft Word
from the "scan to" settings. After the reinstall, the customer is only

presented with three choices to scan to: Readris, HP Imageviewer,
Wordpad.


I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the HP drivers. I've tried
uinstalling and reinstalling Microsoft Office. I've tried downloading
the software directly from HP and using the software from the CD. I've

scanned HP's knowledegebase for this isssue. I've tried these same
actions in different order, and reboot cycles. No matter what I do, I
can't get the the "scan to" settings to recognize Microsoft Word 2003
and make it a selectable choice from the list.


So...I blame the registry. This pc has other unrelated and
unscientific glitches with no apparant root cause. In the hopes that
someone in HP is reading this, can you help me make this entry manually

in the registry? Or better yet, tell me there's an easier fix that's
been identified and tested?


Thanks...

Hi Mountain Networks,

When you do a scan, the document comes in as a picture file. Word
2003 has no native OCR. There are plug-ins that will do the
conversion transparently then put the text on the clipboard and open
Word. If the client does a lot of document scanning that needs to be
editable, they should consider a program like ScanSoft's OmniPage.

>>Word 2003 has no native OCR.

And Wordpad does? When the client access the "scan to" settings,
WordPad is selectable, and is the default.

Thank you for at least responding.
