HI,

I just bought Office 2007, (the version with PP, Excel, Outlook Express) I didn’t get the one with OneNote, but have downloaded the 60-day free trial of OneNote.

The install appears to have deleted my Microsoft Document Imaging (my fault for not paying attention–I select upgrade instead of custom).

I can’t find it anywhere. Can’t find it on the C drive, can’t OPEN file with it. It is gone. Is it built into one of these new 2007 programs? Why would it disappear?

I would like it back. It worked great.

Any suggestions on how to fix that? Maybe uninstall, reinstall Office 2003 then reinstall Office 2007 but don’t upgrade?

Who knows, I’m quite irked about it.

Thanks for any help that is offered.

Microsoft Office Document Imaging is an optionally installed feature in Office 2007. You do not need to uninstall or reinstall to get it. Just add the feature to your existing installation as follows (you may be prompted to insert your Office 2007 DVD at some point):
1. Click on Start | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs | Microsoft Office 2007 | Change | Add or Remove Features.
2. Click on the + to the left of Microsoft Office to expand the category.
3. Click on the + to the left of Office Tools to expand the category.
4. Click on the little black downward-pointing triangle to the left of Microsoft Office Document Imaging, and click on "Run all from my computer".
5. Click on Continue to update your installation.

I’m trying to assist an employee who uses the Microsoft Document Imaging tool to print and send files to other clients who don’t have MS Word or Excel installed. The problem we get is, whenever clicking on the file menu in the document Imaging software, we receive an error message:
AppName: mspview.exe MSPView Failure. Apparently, there is a known issue with Microsoft Office Service Pack 3 causing the problem, as this occurs only when SP3 is installed. This occurs only when viewing a .MDI file in the document imaging application. The error message causes the application to close completely.
The problem we have with this is, this employee already has several files in the .MDI format that he works with. Before he has me convert them all to .PDF (which would probably be the best solution), we was wondering if there was any known fix for this problem. Dont try searching google or support.microsoft.com, as there is very little relevant info google, and absolutely nothing on MS Technet.

Maybe instead of using a .mdi file, you can save it as a .tiff file. It is still a tagged image, compatible with more (and by more i mean less recent) releases of Microsoft Office, and I believe you can still import them into a .pdf file. The last source gives you step-by-step instructions on how, in six Microsoft Office 2003 programs including Word and Excel, to save a document as a .tiff file.

Every time I try to select the "File" menu, Microsoft Document Imaging gives me the following error screen "Microsoft Document Imaging has encountered a problem and must close." Then it closes. I can’t save any of my scans.

If you’re using Microsoft Office 2000 on XP, you might try getting an older version of mspview.exe from an older version of Microsoft Document Imaging.

Hope this helps

i used to use microsoft document imaging to print documents to my computer from internet explorer as TIF files. but a day ago or too, there was no option as selecting it as a printer in the print list. usually i just choose microsoft document imaging as the printer in the print list and then i had to give a name of file to save it.
i tried to fix it by clicking add printer in the printer and faxes wizard. it has a port called "Microsoft Office Document Imaging". but when i click it, i have to select an actual printer from some company to add it. can someone help me? i really need it

1. Go to Control panel – Printer and fax
2. Add Printer – select local printer attached then manual
3. In the port option select Document image printer writer port
4. Install a generic text only printer.
5. Right-click on the generic text/only printer driver and select properties.
6. Click on ports and select "Microsoft office document imaging driver port"
7. Click on the advanced tab and change the driver to Microsoft office document image writer
8. Click on apply and OK

I am trying to work out if there are any alternatives to using a document image processing system in order to help a business go paper free, and to make it easier to find files etc.

Does anyone know what the alternatives are? There must be some.

Not sure what you mean .. the definition of ‘paper free’ implies ‘electronic (scanned) image’ which in turn implies some sort of ‘image management’ system …

There are hundreds of DIMS offerings .. they go by different names depending on the ‘focus’ and how well integrated they are with MS Office etc .. for example, some focus on simple work-flow by the passing of ‘links’ via your existing email system, whilst others are complete ’suites’ of software with their own private (proprietary) ‘repositories’ (archives & on-line databases) and require you to install specialist applications on every users PC (so they can impose Security and Audit Trails). ..

Unless you are a very large organisation, I would suggest going for a simple ‘off-the-shelf’ solution using standard / existing MS software (such as Sharepoint).

hi. ok. so im trying to print something in microsoft word, but it’s doing some weird thing where when i click print, a box shows up to "save as" and even if i do save it, it never prints..and a new box pops up that has to do with some imaging format…how do i "disable" the microsoft document imaging format so i can just print it as a regular document for school!! ahhh.
please help me!

"a box shows up to "save as"" – choose to save your file as a .doc file.

When the Print dialog box opens, make sure your printer is selected.
