Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer :
Ii is not possible to create new files. It is not possible to insert new pages. It is not possible to insert (import) pages (files) you already have. It is not possible to edit *.jpg files (text boxes, marker, ...) It is not possible to import documents via scanning (TWAIN) Most of these items are possible in MODI, but, as I wrote, MODI can't handle my existing files and it is not possible to convert files from Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer to MODI. (Strg + E) The file suffix will not show, wether this is a file editable in MODI, in Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer or Imaging. All this together is the point why I wrote 'format confusion': why doesn't MS make the old files compatible to MODI? I gues for 'political reasons'. Have a look he http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;308979 You may buy the 'new Imaging' for only (!) 125 ?. horst |

MODI is an Office 2003 application that was in no way intended to
replace the imaging editing capabilities that used to be bundled with the OS prior to Windows XP. I doubt you'll be able to do what you want without using third party applications. ------ Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] horst siegert wrote: Windows XP Picture and Fax viewer : Ii is not possible to create new files.

Meanwhile I do believe, you're right.

FWIW, I found the following information in another group and I have NOT
tested it, use at your own risk: ----------- Using Imaging for Windows after Upgrading to Windows XP If you have upgraded to Windows XP from Windows 95 OSR2, 98, NT 4 or 2000, you can still use the Kodak Imaging for Windows applications and ActiveX controls if you can access the files listed below. If you installed XP to another folder, thus preserving your previous Windows version, or if you can re-install your previous version of Windows on another partition or computer, you can copy the files to a safe directory and register the ActiveX controls as described below. If you have not yet upgraded to Windows XP, I suggest archiving copies of these files in a separate location before performing the upgrade. Copy the following files from the \Windows\System directory (\System32 in NT or 2000): IMAGEHLP.DLL IMGADMIN.OCX IMGCMN.DLL IMGEDIT.OCX IMGSCAN.OCX IMGSHL.DLL IMGTHUMB.OCX OIADM400.DLL OICOM400.DLL OIDIS400.DLL OIFIL400.DLL OIGFS400.DLL OIPRT400.DLL OISLB400.DLL OISSQ400.DLL OITWA400.DLL OIUI400.DLL Copy these files from \Windows\Help: IMGVIEW.CHM IMGHELP.CNT IMGHELP.GID IMGHELP.HLP IMGOCXD.CNT IMGOCXD.GID IMGOCXD.HLP IMGTASKS.CHM (If the .GID files don't exist, they will be created when you use the corresponding .HLP files.) Copy these Kodak application files from \Windows: KODAKIMG.EXE KODAKPRV.EXE These are all the ones I know about; there may be others. If you find any other files whose property sheets label them as Wang or Eastman Software, you might want to copy them too, just in case. After you install Windows XP, you will need to register the ActiveX controls (OCX files). The easiest way is to use the Start | Run facility and execute the statement: regsvr32 c:\imaging\imgadmin.ocx (Of course, substitute the path where you archived your files.) Repeat this for each of the four OCX files listed above. ------ Hal -- Hal Hostetler, CPBE -- Senior Engineer/MIS -- MS MVP-S/U -- WA7BGX http://www.kvoa.com -- "When News breaks, we fix it!"

Hal,
I had a look around the last days and I found a similar solution. http://toolsandmore.de/Central/Produ...-Tools/IFW-XP/ I did it and it is runnig well - as I have old Win systems not in use any more. But first I thought, MS should deliver a reliable solution if they are going to changing file-formats. If you can nowadays inport dos.formated textes to word, I thought the same for Imaging. Wrong. horst |
