Re: problems scanning into Word

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Graham,
Thanks for the response. That is a viable alternative, but not necessarily
easier since it involves the extra steps of saving, naming and deleting the
image files. It is easier to just scan it into a Word document and then save
that document.
Do you have any ideas as to why this problem would seem to keep occurring?
Could there be an overload of some sort of temp file or something?
