The From Scanner or Camera option for scanning documents and pictures is not available in Microsoft Office Word 2007. Instead, you can use your scanner to scan the document, and then you can save the file to your computer.

After you scan the document, you can use Microsoft Office Document Imaging to create a version of the document that you can edit.
