In the programs that are listed in the "Applies to" section, you can use a scanner to insert images into a document. This article describes two methods that you can use to insert images in a document, and when to use each method.
Custom Insert Method

Office 2007
To insert pictures from your camera or scanner, you can download the pictures to your computer and then copy them from your computer into Microsoft Office Word 2007. You can also use the Microsoft Clip Organizer to obtain pictures from your camera or scanner. After you download a picture to your computer, do the following:
- Open a Word 2007 document.

under Device, select the device that you want to use, and then click Custom Insert.
