Table
of Contents
This sample shows Microsoft Excel as the spreadsheet application, but
you can drag the spreadsheet onto any spreadsheet icon on the Link Bar.
Instead of using the spreadsheet link icon, you can also choose Links
from the File menu, and choose the name of a spreadsheet application.
NOTE: To maintain the column format for a spreadsheet table,
choose Link Preferences from the Edit menu, click the icon for your
spreadsheet application, click OCR Setting, and deselect
Decolumnized Output. That setting maintains the column format
for tables in word processing applications.
NOTE: Spreadsheets are often displayed horizontally.To rotate them
after scanning, select the spreadsheets and click the Rotate button.
