Hi Anne, What is your workflow when scanning with vuescan and fineReader express? Do you first scan all pages with vueScan, and then hand them all off to FineReaer to do the OCR? If so, would VueScan store all pages in one big image document such as pdf, or will I get 80 loose files out of vues

Hi Sandy and others interested, After you have fusion installed and you have a windows vm running, you can go a few different ways. As it is by default with fusion and windows, the command key next to the spacebar, is not the alt key as you would expect from a windows keyboard. Instead, command
