Running ABBYY FineReader from Another Program
When you install ABBYY FineReader, you may choose to integrate the program with Microsoft Office applications and with Windows
Explorer. The program will install an ABBYY FineReader 9.0 button onto the Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft
Outlook toolbars and an Open with ABBYY FineReader item will be added to the Windows Explorer shortcut menu. Integration
enables you to check and edit the recognized text using the usual Microsoft Office tools and to open images and PDF files in ABBYY
FineReader directly from Windows Explorer.
To perform OCR on a document from within a Microsoft Office application:
1. Click the button on the toolbar.
2. In the dialog box, choose your desired options and click Start.
ABBYY FineReader will be launched, and the recognized text will be opened in the current Microsoft Office application upon the
completion of OCR.
To open an image or PDF file from Windows Explorer:
1. From Windows Explorer, right–click the desired file.
2. From the shortcut menu, select the Open with ABBYY FineReader command.
Note: The command appears only if the program supports the format of the selected file.
ABBYY FineReader will be launched and the selected image will be added to a new ABBYY FineReader document. If ABBYY
FineReader 9.0 is already running, the image will be added to the current ABBYY FineReader document.
If the ABBYY FineReader button doesn't appear on the toolbar of the Microsoft Office application...
● Rightclick the toolbar and select the ABBYY FineReader 9.0 item from the shortcut menu.
If the ABBYY FineReader 9.0 item does not appear from the shortcut menu, ABBYY FineReader was not integrated with Microsoft
Office applications during custom installation.
To integrate ABBYY FineReader with a Microsoft Office application after installation:
1. Go to Start>Settings>Control Panel and doubleclick Add or Remove Programs.
Note: In Windows Vista, the same command is called Programs and Features.
