What you're referring to is Twain support which requires VBA. Since there's
no VBA in Office 2008 there's no Twain support. The only real difference is
that you cannot scan directly into your document. You'll need to use the
software that came with your scanner or some other compatible scanner/OCR
software to produce a document, then bring the content into the doc.
