    scanned documents

    Hello,

    By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

    • Press Windows and type pictures
    • Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.

    Furthermore, we suggest that you repair your Word application by following the steps on this

    link    .

    Let us know how that turned out for you.

    Edit the Steps recorder document

    How can I edit the Steps recorded by the Steps recorder application? Once I finish recording the necessary steps, there are few steps I'd like to delete and few comments that I'd like to edit.

    So if I open the saved file in word document and edit it there I need it to,

    • automatically update the number of the proceeding steps when I delete one in between.
    • Retain the size of the images and overall page size in the MHTML document. (I've noticed that if I make a single change, the size of image increase more than the screen size and the MHTML document isn't responsive.)

    How To Edit A Scanned Document

    Hi Rocky. I'm Greg, an installation specialist and 8 year Windows MVP, here to help you.

    When you install the full printer/scanner software does it include OCR or other character recognition, because it needs to be scanned by that in order to be editable.

    Word can also convert a scanned .pdf into an editable document.

    You can also edit scans online using a program such as this:

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
