    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.

    PDF scans not converting in Word 2013

    You appear to have two threads connected with this issue
    One here
    MS Office Document Scanner + HP deskjet
    to which you have received two replies and this thread where you are reading this

    It appears to me but maybe I am missing something that you have the mentioned HPDeskjet2700 but then Epson
    is mentioned

    Is that a typo or do you have two printers/scanners - the HP and an Epson

    If the scanned PDF will not then open in Word, as a Word editable doc - albeit some formatting will usually be lost

    It appears to me that the scanned doc which is then opened in Word 2013 is NOT been scanned as a PDF
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...n-gb&ad=gb#bm2
    Scan your document according to the instructions for your scanner, and save it to your computer as a .pdf file.

    Indeed if it was scanned as a PDF I cannot understand why MSWord would treat it as a jpeg.
    I would check the scan settings - this problem is frequently encountered when using auto scan

    It would help considerably if you acknowledge the replies on your first thread, rather than just starting another one.
