I have Microsoft Office home and business as well. It does not look as I remember, but here is what I do to get to where I think will do the trick.
From the start menu I navigate to All Programs. Press Up Arrow once and press Enter. Press down arrow once and press M until I get to Microsoft Office and press Enter to open the submenu. There are 6 items in the submenu and Tools is the sixth one right after Word. Press Enter to open the Tools submenu. There are 6 items in this submenu as well. The 4th item is Document upload, and the 5th item is Picture manager. Neither of these are labeled like in my previous version of Office, so I do not know if they will allow you to scan a document right into Word. I guess I will need to do some research.

From your Start menu, if you go to your Microsoft Office submenu, you will find a selection that has Tools in its name. Somewhere in there is a way to scan it into Word. I believe that from there you should be able to save it from within Word as a PDF. The other option is to scan it directly into Word. It used to be under Insert Picture, and you would select from scanner. I currently do not have a scanner so I am not seeing this option. Now I believe that when you do it this way you are placing the image of the page you scanned on the page as a picture. When I used to do this the picture would come in and fit from margin to margin in both directions filling up the entire page. Again, you would save the document from within Word as a PDF. Sorry that I am unable to give you exact instructions. I hope you can make this work for you.

I need to scan several multi-page documents and email them as PDF’s to sighted colleagues. I’m currently using a Plustek OpticBook 3600 for OCR scanning, but the Action Express software native to the scanner is totally inaccessible with any version of JAWS. I need a software program which will scan multiple pages and append each page to a single PDF. The PDF itself does not have to be accessible. I’m currently using JAWS 14, latest build under Windows 7 on two PC’s. I’m also using K1000 for OCR scanning. Any help would be greatly appreciated ASAP. Thanks, Chris.
