Microsoft Office 2010 Picture Manager - Auto Correct

[arizonajack]

The auto correct feature doesn't seem to work on scanned documents.

I often scan documents and save them as .jpg.

Sometimes I scan a document (a bill or invoice or text) that has light text that's barely readable. I use the auto correct feature to darken the text and then save the adjusted document.

What I noticed today was that after I hit auto correct and the text darkens, when I hit save the text goes back the way it was.

Here's the kicker.

That happens with documents that I have scanned with my new Canoscan 9000F Mark II.

When I pull up documents that I scanned with my 5 year old Canoscan 8800F (an earlier generation of the same machine) the auto correct works the way it's supposed to.

Canon tech support is clueless and blames Office Picture Manager, of course.

Any ideas?

Hmm Jack looks like Canon are playing games with you. Now I am assuming youhave the current updates from the web site for this ermmmm machine?

Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : CanoScan 9000F

If so have you checked out the cables and ports mate.

Personally I have gone right off Canon printers because of the problems andexcessive ink use and time set up lag. But that is a by the by.

Best idea Jack I am going with HP next time as a mate over there recently went the HP Officejet 6500 and reckons it is the bees knees and he does a lot of graphic stuff.

But the Epson should fill the bill I can't say because I am not really that well up on that gear to be honest

It's a standalone flatbed scanner, not a printer.

Righto Jack I just use the real simple stuff myself and not that much at at that.
