It seems to be a known problem since Nuance has created a tool specifically to remove earlier versions. Well, Nuance's tool wasn't able to do the job. I thought it had to do with PaperPort (which has a Omipage-dll of it's own) and PDF Converter/Creator from the same company that are installed too. At last, I used Search Everything to find any leftover files/folders with OmniPage in their name and removed those with Revo through the right mouse-click context-menu. These appeared to be left-overs from pre-OmniPage 15 versions and if I would simply have deleted those files, there would still have been left-overs in the Registry.

As I say in another M message I don't get much TNEF email lately (I have trained my M correspondents) but they used to use rich text showing quoted text in red (with no , etc.) and their own text in blue. If you can't see the M colours, it is difficult to tell which text is quoted and which not. Some time ago, I have been waiting for a couple of months for a reply from someone who had simply quoted my text, except for the first question to which he replied with a full written sentence. I did not understand why he only had answered that question and not the others. Those were questions in which I asked him under what code-number some expenses had to be entered. Turned out he HAD answered my question by putting numbers right behind my question.
