Scan documents to be used in Microsoft Works.
You can scan your documents and import them into Microsoft Works using the scanning software that came with your scanner. If you do not have the software, you can use a Windows application or tool to import the document. You can insert the scanned document to use in any program or template in Microsoft Works, including Word Processor, Spreadsheet, Database and Templates. Edit the image size or placement once it is inserted into your Works file.
