I\u2019m filing this under SharePoint because it is relevant to wanting to scan into SharePoint (using say, Dark Blue Duck) and still being able to OCR documents as part of the scan.<\/p>\n

What<\/h4>\n

Microsoft decided for some reason not to include OCR abilities in Office 2010 (yet had included it in Office 2007). Maybe a licensing thing, maybe someone forgot \u2013 meh, I don\u2019t care, I have a workaround<\/p>\n

So What<\/h4>\n

If you are attempting to scan into SharePoint, for example, and you are using software from Dark Blue Duck or other outfits that rely on certain preexisting tools (For OCR), you\u2019ll need to install the Office 2007 MODI bits into your Office 2010 software plant.<\/p>\n

Now What<\/h4>\n

You have two options:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Install SharePoint Designer 2007 on your workstation as you can include the bits there. Though if you aren\u2019t connecting to SharePoint 2007 sites anymore, this is a pain as you\u2019ll be battling SharePoint Designer 2010 and 2007 against each other<\/li>\n
  2. Better: Install the bits from an Office 2007 installation CD (Supported)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
