Scanner support programs do not always recognise all installed programs on a
system, and is a shortfall in the scanner program..
Although MS do not have some of the filters that enable any document to be
picked up/loaded, they do at least have scanner support built in.. the issue
of filters as MS see it is one of security, although some would say that MS
are just being awkward and don't want their products to be 100% compatible
with other software.. I will leave you to decide that one..
In the meantime. follow the conventions offered by Publisher..
