SECTION 4
Lesson 4.3: Microsoft Office Document Imaging

   

 

 

Once you open Microsoft Office Document Imaging, here’s the screen that you will see:

 

 

At the very top of the screen, we have seven menu bars:

 

File

Contains basic file commands like open, close, import, save, print, and exit. Also contains commands for searching files and scanning images.

Edit

Here’s where you’ll find basic editing commands like cut, copy, paste, undo, and redo. This is also where you can find the format object command.

View

Change how your scanned pages appear on screen. You can also change what toolbars are open on the screen or view page properties.

Page

Contains commands for working with entire pages, such as cut page, select all pages, rotate page, and move pages to a new file.

Tools

Here’s where you will find MODI’s four main features: Recognize Text Using OCR, Send Text to Word, add Annotations and set MODI Options.

Window

Arrange windows or toggle between documents.

Help

If you have a question this menu will help you find a place to answer it!

 

Below the menu bar are the MODI toolbars which contain most of the commands you’ll need. The rest of the screen is divided into two parts: the left hand side displays a thumbnail view of the scan while the right hand side displays each page.

 

 

By default, opening a file in MODI creates copy of it, saved as a .mdi file (MODI’s default document format) in your My Documents folder (the default MODI location).
