In Windows XP, (not sure re. Professional or what) when you create the system you can create a printer called Microsoft Office Document Image Writer. It creates a file with the last three characters .mdi. It has built-in editing. I have found that not all people who have XP have this. I think it has to do with the options you select when you install XP. Anyway, look for it. If not found, maybe you can check the install disks and see if you can install that option now.ben
