MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / April 2006Word has a blank page after I use Microsoft Office Document Imagin
Hi, I am not sure if this question has been asked. When I scan a document as a TIFF and open the Tiff with Microsoft Office Document Imaging and use the "Send text to Word", Word opens in a blank screen. When I click the Close (X button), I am prompted to save my Word document. If I say yes and save it for example to my desktop, then I can edit the TIFF in Word. This does not happen on my computer, but on others. I cannot tell if this is a Word problem. The only difference is that I have domain rights. All computers use Microsoft XP Professional and Office XP. Thank-you.... I doubt you are editing a TIF file in Word. USUALLY: when you scan a document using OCR, you'll get text (I suspect that's what you're doing). When you scan as a graphic, you'll get a TIF file...which won't be editable with Word except to perhaps resize it. It's a graphic image. ************ Hope it helps!

I edit a TIFF by converting it to Word using the application Microsoft Office Document Imaging. There is a button called "Send Text to Word". When I click on that button, Word does open, but the screen is blank. If I try to close Word, I am prompted to save. If I save the Word session, I can then open my saved Word doc and edit it. On my computer this does not happen. When I use the "Send Text to Word", the TIFF is converted to Word and is then editable. What I do not understand, is there something that I need to check off on the problem computers? > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Thank-you.... Hi, I am having the same problem for one user who has Office 2002. Not running Norton. Any sign of a fix?  SignatureThanks, Andrea > Sorry if I was not more clear.

In the end, I just reimaged the user's computer. I tried to find something on Microsoft's site, but no luck. > Hi, I am having the same problem for one user who has Office 2002. Not > running Norton.

When she uses a generic normal.dot there's no problem. Since a generic normal.dot is not an option, the workaround is to open the .htm in My Documents through Internet Explorer, then copy the text. Not the most elegant, but hey, it works. An aside: Sometimes this same user tries sending Word text to our Imaging software (using through File | Print) and suddenly the text shows up in Word all squished on top of each other to the left margin of each line. Looks like that on the .tif, too. Then any new blank document she tries types text squished in the left margin. Thank you crazy normal.dot. I found closing Word, then closing Outlook, then reopening Word fixed this. She uses Word as the E-mail editor and turning it off isn't an option.
