Hi Anne. Thanks much for your reply. In Omnipage in Windows, you can configure it to pop up in the menubar in Word or any other texteditor. that means you just open up your texteditor, go into the menubar and choose scan. Omnipage will then open, scan the paper, put it in your texteditor and then finally closes again so the only opened window is still your texteditor. That feature is an awesome feature for people who aren't very good at computers. Regarding the preferences in Finereader I just got confused because I saw the Preferences was dimmed.
