Windows 10: Scan to editable file

How can I scan a word document to be able to edit it in word?

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

COM Surrogate; Cannot Edit Files Properties

Hi,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with editing properties on File Explorer. I will certainly help you with the issue.



I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below:



Method 1: Check in safe mode

Safe mode is a troubleshooting option for Windows that starts your computer in a limited state. Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started. The words Safe Mode appear in the corners of your monitor to
identify which Windows mode you're using.



Follow the steps given below and check if that helps.

• Type settings in search and click on Settings.
• Click Update and recovery, and then tap or click Recovery.
• Under Advanced startup, tap or click Restart now.
• Once your PC restarts, on the Choose an option screen, tap or click Troubleshoot.
• If you don't see the Startup Settings option, tap or click advanced options.
• Tap or click Startup Settings.
• Tap or click Restart.
• On the Startup Settings screen, choose the Safe Mode.
• Sign in to your PC with a user account that has administrator rights.

If the issue doesn’t occur in safe mode, follow method 2.



Method 2:

I would suggest you to perform SFC scan and check if that helps. The sfc/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. It is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions
in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.



Refer the link: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files



*Steps for Windows 8.1 applies to Windows 10.



Hope this information helps.



Please get back to us with an update on the issue, we will be happy to help.

 

Edit metadata autocomplete list for pictures/music files

I cannot find a way to delete/edit the autocomplete list displayed when editing the metadata on pictures. I get a list of previous entries (some of which are just plain junk) and would like to delete those as suggestions. I tried the steps with the following
link and did not have any success. I do not have a AUTOCOMPLETE listing under "Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer".
