Scanning pictures

FreeOffice: Scanning pictures directly into a document is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.

Note: Scanning pictures directly into a document is possible only with the Windows version of Presentations.

With Presentations for Windows, you can scan originals directly into a document. You must have connected a scanner to your computer and installed the corresponding software.

To scan something into the current document, proceed as follows:

1.Turn on the scanner and insert the original that is to be scanned.
2.On the ribbon tab Insert | group Objects | Picture frame picture_insert_icon, click on the arrow of the icon and select the entry From scanner from the dropdown menu.

Presentations now enables your scanner's software. Make the desired settings (see scanner manual) and start the scanning process. When this is complete, the scanned result will appear as a picture in the Presentations document.

Selecting another source

If several scanners are connected to your PC, you can use the command Insert | Picture frame dropdown_arrow | Select source to decide from which of these sources you want to scan when you use the command Insert | Picture frame dropdown_arrow | From scanner.
