Scanning

As a followup to my post yesterday, Garfield-n-odie
responded by giving me tips to solve my scan problem. I
tried with no success.
My problem is that I am trying to scan a company
letterhead logo into a format that my WORD program will
recognize. I have tried all formats that are listed,
downloaded all updates including filters, tried cut and
paste, e.t.c.
I use Home XP, WORD 2003, HP 6110 All-in-one
printer/scanner/fax.
Whatever I have done all I get is a blank box or garbled
words(looks like computer foreign language).
My first thoughts were that this should be so simple and
it has turned into 2 days of frustration.
Would greatly appreciate anyone's help.
Thanks

Keep your posts in thread when you have further questions.

As garfield indicated, do not scan *into* Word, but use the scanner software
to create a graphical image - usually in TIFF of JPG format. Save that im
age as a file. Then insert that file as a 'picture'. Word does not require
any additional filters to do this.

If you select Print layout view in Word and set tools > options > view >
drawing objects then the image should be displayed in Word.

Thank you for your tip. I followed your tip and all I
have is a blank box which looks like a border on my
page. I scanned the letterhead into a TIFF file on my
desktop. Next I opened WORD and using insert > picture >
from file > and the blank box border appeared. I next
selected the preferences as indicated and nothing
changed. Any suggestions?

I have success! Apparently I did not do something right
because I went back and followed the steps again and now
have the letterhead logo that I was wanting. Thank you
for your help.
