Windows Fax and Scan: Preview or scan images as separate files
Russ has been a positive supporter of these news groups for some time
and the comments on Ilene's problem (not described in his post) by hazymat were inappropriate. In my 45 years in the computing business, 99% of the user problems I have seen are either self inflicted or the result of basic lack of common sense. The old saying applies- it's tough to soar like an eagle when you work with (or help out)a bunch of turkeys. I would classify hazymat as a member of the turkey group. Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] wrote: You failed to quote any of this now outdated thread, so I have no idea what you're talking about. But thanks for your thoughts. You are most certainly incorrect to suggest that WFS was intended to replace the software each scanner vendor supplies for creating documents from its scanners. A specific vendor's third party software will and should be better suited to those tasks than a generic OS utility. |

Windows Fax and Scan: Preview or scan images as separate files
With all due respect, you all suck. Vista Scan and Fax is broken, and instead of responding to this nice lady's question you misinterpreted it and gave snide responses. -- germanchiwawa |

I too came across this thread because I can't enable the option "PREVIEW OR SCAN IMAGES AS SEPARATE FILES"- (did you get that?) thats PREVIEW- to look at a picture or document before it is captured to a storage device, OR SCAN- to actually capture the picture or document to a storage device, IMAGES- the digital form of a picture or document, AS SEPARATE FILES- meaning as multiple different individual files. Is that clear enough? See I can be condesending too. As a person who has spent hundreds of dollars on way overpriced, underdesigned, no quality crap from microsoft over the years, I think I, and we all, deserve quality support without the smug, dismissive and unintelligent attitude displayed on this thread by the "MVPs." I have to agree with hazymat- the original question couldnt have been more clear. However let me take a stab at it. You know the option toward the bottom of the New Scan dialog window? It says "Preview or Scan Images as Separate Files." It is greyed out, that is, it is in a light grey hue. That means that the checkbox cannot be checked, and the option cannot be enabled, or used. The questions we have a "WHY?" and "HOW DO WE GET IT TO WORK?" I dont think these are particularly difficult-- Oh, wait, let me rephrase, I dont think these questions are hard to understand. MVP huh, where did you get that qualification- from a crackerjack box? Typical Micro$oft. And yes, inapropriate, but all true. Last edited by MicrosoftSucks : January 11th 09 at 09:11 PM. |

hello- I am trying to find out how to enable "Preview or scan images as separate files" for a new or existing scan profile. It is currently greyed out and reguardless of the options I choose, I cannot make that box available to check. Goal: scan several documents so that each document is scanned in as an individual pdf file. OS: Windows Vista Business edition Scanner: HP Officejet 6310 all-in-one with the latest drivers. Thanks! -- Ilene M |
