Working in Other Applications
When you install ABBYY FineReader 11, you may choose to integrate the program with Microsoft
Office applications and Windows Explorer. Integration means that:
• An ABBYY FineReader 11 toolbar will appear in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft
Outlook.
• An ABBYY FineReader 11 option will appear in the supported format shortcut menu in Windows
Explorer.
You will be able to review and edit recognition results using your usual Microsoft Office tools. You
will also be able to launch quick tasks and custom automated tasks and open image and PDF files
directly from Windows Explorer.
To perform OCR on a document in a Microsoft Office application:
1. Click
button on the ABBYY FineReader 11 bar.
2. In the dialog box, check the options and click Start.
ABBYY FineReader will be launched, and the recognized text will be opened in the current Microsoft
Office application when the OCR process is completed.
To open an image or PDF file from Windows Explorer:
1. Select the Windows Explorer file.
2. Select ABBYY FineReader 11>Open in ABBYY FineReader from the file's shortcut menu.
Note: This command will appear only if the program supports the selected file's format.
ABBYY FineReader 11 will launch and the selected image will be added to a new ABBYY FineReader
document. If ABBYY FineReader 11 is already running, the image will be added to the current
ABBYY FineReader document.
If the ABBYY FineReader 11 panel doesn't appear on the Microsoft Office application toolbar:
• Select ABBYY FineReader 11 from the application toolbar's shortcut menu.
If the ABBYY FineReader 11 option is not available on the shortcut menu, it means that ABBYY
FineReader 11 integration with Microsoft Office applications was disabled during custom
installation.
