Microsoft Document Imaging Writer/Printer for XP/2002

[Scott Fraley]

I HAVE this software, but there doesn't appear to be a printer/writer. Am I
going to have to upgrade to '03 to get the darn .MDI Writer?

I've tried to 'reinstall' it and still I have software, but no 'printer' or
'writer' shows up in my printers folder.

1. Close all running applications. If you have any Office application running, the driver will not be installed properly.
2. Go to "Control Panel" and "Add or Remove Programs".
3. Click on "Microsoft Office 2003" and then click on "Change".
4. Check "Add or Remove Features" and click "Next".
5. On the bottom of the page check "Choose advanced customization of applications." and click "Next".
6. Under Microsoft Office click on the + sign in front of "Office Tools"
7. Locate the object "Microsoft Office Document Imaging", click the icon and select "Not Available".
8. Click on "Update". This will uninstall the MODI driver.
9. Repeat steps 1 to 6 to go back to the same location you were before.
10. Locate the object "Microsoft Office Document Imaging", click the icon and select "Run from My Computer".
11. Click on "Update".

Once this is complete, you can go to "Control Panel" and then to "Printers and Faxes", if you see a printer with the name of
"Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" then the MODI (Microsoft Office Document Imaging) is properly installed.

The MDI printer/writer was introduced in Office 2003. If you
have Office XP, then Carey's instructions won't work for you.

I don't have '03 but yet i have the .MDI writer, not sure how, but I belive
it might have something to do with the original one note demo???

Yes, One Note is an Office 2003 product and would include the
MS Office Document Image Writer.
