insert picture from scanner

[danishgary]

when I insert a picture from my scanner, it may work once or twice, then I
get a dialog box that this feature is not installed, which I can't install
because I am asked for a file (data2.msi) that supposedly is on my Office
2000 disk 2 but apparently isn't (neither windows nor my manual serach can
find it)

Why not scan the image in first, do whatever editing may need done in a
graphics program, and then insert the picture? This is the way I always do
it and it works fine for me.

I would also recommend doing what JoAnn advises - scanning directly into
Publisher is not recommended by me.

Paint .NET (http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/) is a free image tool that is
designed to replace Microsoft Paint.
The GIMP (http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/) is a more powerful, but harder
to use, free image manipulation tool.

You must have Net.Framework installed in order to use Paint.Net.

The full installer of Paint.NET includes the .NET framework (although it is
quite a hefty download)
