MS Office Forum / Outlook / Fax / December 2004format confusion?
hello, in w2k I used imaging to have a look and to edit fax. Now in winxp-pro everything is different. Why there are two different software not compatible: 'Office Document Imaging' and (in german) 'Windows Bild- und Faxanzeige'. - The documents can be opend in both the software, but there must be a difference? - Is there a possibility to put all that together? like it has been with the old Imaging software? horst Windows XP made no such change. Office 2003 did. Is that what you're using? What are you trying to achieve that you can't?  SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > hello, > in w2k I used imaging to have a look and to edit fax. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > the old Imaging software? > horst Russ, In combination xp plus 2003. The old Imaging was able to do 'everything'. Showing me one or multiple page documents (fax) as well as pictures, was able to save as tif, tiff (one or multipage) as jepeg as well. I could edit the pages and so on . Document Imaging is not able to open these 'old' edited documents, 'Windows Bild- und Faxanzeige' (don't know the english expresseion for that software), is able to do, but in a not sufficient manner, and if you press Strg + e the editet *.tif (fax) document will be opend in 'Doument Imaging' but all the changes done will be disapeared. horst Can't reproduce your problem. MODI works fine here. What do you mean by "old 'edited' documents?" SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Russ, > In combination xp plus 2003. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Imaging' but all the changes done will be disapeared. > horst Russ > What do you mean by "old 'edited' documents?" The documents I have editet in Imaging: inserted textboxes and markers, pictures and so on. You can open these documents in 'MODI' (I love all these abreviations ;-) ) but you will not see all the objects inserted. So, these old files are not compatible to MODI (even the GUI of MODI looks like Imaging). And that is my problem. How can I go on with my old files in the same way I did before. horst p.s.: There has been nearly the same problem earlier when there has been a change from the very old 'WangImage' and it's *.awd format to Imaging. p.p.s.: May be, my english is a litlle bit too 'simple' to be understandable ;-) Your English is fine. You just hadn't provided enough detail for me to figure out what problem you were having. Now that I do, I must say I've never seen it before, nor have I run into anyone with a similar problem. I'm not sure I've ever run into anyone who has tried this either. Let me make sure I understand. You had some TIF files that you edited in Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer. Then you installed Office 2003, which changed the file association for TIF files to MODI. Now when you open these files in MODI, the changes you made are no longer seen. Is that correct? What happens if you open these files in the Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer? SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Russ > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > p.p.s.: May be, my english is a litlle bit too 'simple' to be > understandable ;-) Russ, I think he was using Kodak Imaging under Windows 2000 and I don't know how a .tif edited with the old Kodak application would behave under MODI. I still have Kodak Imaging on my old laptop (inherited from Windows 2000 when I updated it to XP Pro), I'll see how an image edited with Imaging behaves under MODI. It wouldn't surprise me if there were problems in light of the age difference.

It does seem however that the Windows 2000 viewer would still be around and could be used to view these TIF files.

And I to was surprised to learn, that MODI (even if it looks like Imaging) is able to open these *.tif files but what you see ist just the 'virgin' original and all the edited objects are vanished. Hal, you may try it. Take a tif file in imaging, put some text boxes in it, deliver it to your xp system and open it in MODI. In the xp-picture and fax viewer you can see and edit these changings you made in Imaging, but that viewer is not really an alternative. And on top, Imaging was able to handle with *.jpg files. I know, that there is a way to run Imaging under winXP, but first I try to solve that problem without tricks. horst p.s.: seems to bee an intresting discussion ;-) So you created these files in Windows 2000 Kodak Imaging, but now you are using Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer? Why do you keep leaving out details? Can still see the edits you made? Why is using Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer not an alternative? SignatureRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] >> Russ, I think he was using Kodak Imaging under Windows 2000 < > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > horst > p.s.: seems to bee an intresting discussion ;-) Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer : Ii is not possible to create new files. It is not possible to insert new pages. It is not possible to insert (import) pages (files) you already have. It is not possible to edit *.jpg files (text boxes, marker, ...) It is not possible to import documents via scanning (TWAIN) Most of these items are possible in MODI, but, as I wrote, MODI can't handle my existing files and it is not possible to convert files from Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer to MODI. (Strg + E) The file suffix will not show, wether this is a file editable in MODI, in Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer or Imaging. All this together is the point why I wrote 'format confusion': why doesn't MS make the old files compatible to MODI? I gues for 'political reasons'. Have a look here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;308979 You may buy the 'new Imaging' for only (!) 125 ?. horst MODI is an Office 2003 application that was in no way intended to replace the imaging editing capabilities that used to be bundled with the OS prior to Windows XP. I doubt you'll be able to do what you want without using third party applications. ------ Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] > Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer : > Ii is not possible to create new files.

If you installed XP to another folder, thus preserving your previous Windows version, or if you can re-install your previous version of Windows on another partition or computer, you can copy the files to a safe directory and register the ActiveX controls as described below. If you have not yet upgraded to Windows XP, I suggest archiving copies of these files in a separate location before performing the upgrade. Copy the following files from the \Windows\System directory (\System32 in NT or 2000): IMAGEHLP.DLL IMGADMIN.OCX IMGCMN.DLL IMGEDIT.OCX IMGSCAN.OCX IMGSHL.DLL IMGTHUMB.OCX OIADM400.DLL OICOM400.DLL OIDIS400.DLL OIFIL400.DLL OIGFS400.DLL OIPRT400.DLL OISLB400.DLL OISSQ400.DLL OITWA400.DLL OIUI400.DLL Copy these files from \Windows\Help: IMGVIEW.CHM IMGHELP.CNT IMGHELP.GID IMGHELP.HLP IMGOCXD.CNT IMGOCXD.GID IMGOCXD.HLP IMGTASKS.CHM (If the .GID files don't exist, they will be created when you use the corresponding .HLP files.) Copy these Kodak application files from \Windows: KODAKIMG.EXE KODAKPRV.EXE These are all the ones I know about; there may be others. If you find any other files whose property sheets label them as Wang or Eastman Software, you might want to copy them too, just in case. After you install Windows XP, you will need to register the ActiveX controls (OCX files). The easiest way is to use the Start | Run facility and execute the statement: regsvr32 c:\imaging\imgadmin.ocx (Of course, substitute the path where you archived your files.) Repeat this for each of the four OCX files listed above. ------ Hal SignatureHal Hostetler, CPBE -- hhh@kvoa.com Senior Engineer/MIS -- MS MVP-S/U -- WA7BGX http://www.kvoa.com -- "When News breaks, we fix it!"

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> Russ Valentine >> [MVP-Outlook] Hal, I had a look around the last days and I found a similar solution. http://toolsandmore.de/Central/Produkte/Software/System-Tools/IFW-XP/ I did it and it is runnig well - as I have old Win systems not in use any more. But first I thought, MS should deliver a reliable solution if they are going to changing file-formats. If you can nowadays inport dos.formated textes to word, I thought the same for Imaging. Wrong. horst |
