My multifucion with ocr requires the use of M.S.Word.
Drag + drop is necessary to place Word in the scanner box, yet Win 7 x 64 will not allow me to drag and drop.
Is there a work around or is there another way to obtain ocr?
Drag and Drop printing does indeed work in Windows 7 so it would seem you have another issue. You might try re-installing the printer drivers.
As for a work around, you might try copying then paste over the scanner box.
I did try copy/paste which did not work.
I was lucky in that there was an update and although i do not enter Word in the box(it has the program name by default)I can still scan as ocr with a drop down list.
Regarding drag and drop, if you were in your documents and tried to perform this task, would you be able. I am not as the ions just bounce back where they were.
Someone told me drag and drop in this instance is not a feature of Win 7.
I have not been able to d+ d anywhere on this machine but I think it is because I am doing it incorrectly or in the wrong place.
Is there somewhere where I can test this where it should work?
I may have spoke too soon. I use a HP gadget but that is to drag and drop photo "printing" only. It does not work on Word documents, for example. But I can right click on a Word document and select print and it works fine.
I note there is another Gadget available from the get more gadgets online menu called Drag&Drop and Print and it seems to work. It is unverified but my scans did not reveal anything malicious.
I will look into that gadget.
It seems that this is a regression as I would like to drag and drop to arrange icons as I like them not as Windows wants to do.
Thank you for the information.
It is always interesting to find work arounds .
