microsoft office tools

I just started to use Windows vista Home premier edition. With the XP edition
I had something called microsoft office tools/ scan. This program allowed me
to scan docs into word and once in word I could correct spelling, rearrange
and edit the documents. I can not seem to find this in vista, does anyone
know if it or something simular is available, I write stories and really like
this tool.

Thanks

that came with Office 2003. Do you HAVE Office installed on your new
machine?

Google "free ocr".

It's called Microsoft Document Imaging and it's not installed by default.
Go to Control panel-Add/Remover programs, click on Office, choose "Change"
and then "Add or Remove Features"
It's under Office Tools.
