Re: 5530 scan to MS Word

Hi,
The software provided for your device does not include OCR functionality
As you may find listed within the Scanning Specification, text files as TXT or RTF are not supported by the HP software:

You may use any 3rd part OCR solution to scan as editable text.

If you have Microsoft Office suite there is a good chance the office suite provide this kind of capabilities:

Office 2007 or 2010:
