Can I create a Word document from the text I scan?

It can b, t doable. The software included in th scanner driver contins OCR (Optical Character Recognition).If you scanning a clean document, the OCR will recognize text, so it wll be possble to save it as a text document and later format and convert into Word document.

I've never done that, I don't use Word. But it will make a PDF with no problem.

You need an OCR program to do that , it`s not a scanner issue , it`s a software you need to use

Yes, the "pen" will place the scanned text at the cursor location. The text is then part of the file into which it was inserted.

If by "document creation" you mean Office then there is a starter kit installed. You may have to go for the open office suite or buy the MS Office product.

Yes. Once copied into a word processing document, it becomes as if you typed the words into the document so you can format the copied text as you want to.

You can scan individual pages and collate into (1) PDF file. Insofar as moving on surface you're probably thinking of a hand held scanner that you move over document.

Yes, I have scanned documents with it as well. It does not convert them to a PDF file though.

No it does not. You might want to look into an OCR software package that can be installed on your computer an will work with any scanned text document. Update: Disregard answer above - it was wrong. I just discovered my 810 does have OCR. OCR is one of the scanning options. I ran a test document and it placed the converted text on notepad with no conversion errors. You could probably have it default to your word processor or simply copy and paste.

You can do both if you want. There is a way to separate Fter you have scanned. I just scan those that are part of one document as I find it easier for me. It really is a nice machine.

Well I think so. I know I can open a Word document when it is sent to me by someone.And if you go to the app store there are Adobe reader and flash player apps that are free to download. Hope this helps.

The software handles this well. Use assembly view, drag-and-drop pages into the new document, save it, and you're done.

By using the ABBYY FineReader software included in the bundled version of the scanner, you save a scan to a Word doc (access to FineReader is integrated in the menu that appears after a scan). There will probably be scanning errors that will have to be edited.

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

No. You have to scan one side and then the other. It's easy to use the software to combine them into one document, though.

Simply place your document on the scanner's glass and then initiate the OCR scan from the HP Device Manager. The IRIS software really does the work for you and will place the scanned text into a Microsoft Word document or an ASCII text file. This version of IRIS seems more intuitive than previous versions. Once the text appears in your word processing document, you can edit it from there.

Hi,Sorry for this late response but I wanted to check it by myself with my printer.Personally I scan my document using Microsoft "Paint" and it is only a picture application.You can save your document in several format but none in text format.By definition a scanner is supposed to produce images and unless you use a Optical Character Recognition Software I don't think that you will make it.I am sorry, I afraid that I was not very helpful but it is only what I can tell you for now.However I am going to poke around, If I can find out something I will inform you.Have a good dayMB Hi,Sorry for this late response but I wanted to check it by myself with my printer.Personally I scan my document using Microsoft "Paint" and it is only a picture application.You can save your document in several format but none in text format.By definition a scanner is supposed to produce images and unless you use a Optical Character Recognition Software I don't think that you will make it.I am sorry, I afraid that I was not very helpful but it is only what I can tell you for now.However I am going to poke around, If I can find out something I... » Read More Hi,Sorry for this late response but I wanted to check it by myself with my printer.Personally I scan my document using Microsoft "Paint" and it is only a picture application.You can save your document in several format but none in text format.By definition a scanner is supposed to produce images and unless you use a Optical Character Recognition Software I don't think that you will make it.I am sorry, I afraid that I was not very helpful but it is only what I can tell you for now.However I am going to poke around, If I can find out something I will inform you.Have a good dayMB « Show Less

Yes. I scan multi page documents and when finished the computer screen prompts you with, "Finished Scanning?"You then choose location to save file, name the document, and it saves it as a PDF file.

Sorry, don't know. I really did not like the software, so I dumped it for a Brother DS700d sheet fed scanner with Page Maker software which are far superior and costs less.
