--- Comment #6 from Alex Thurgood <[email protected]> --- This functionality is implemented in the Apple provided Preview.app, so it must presumably be possible. In Preview.app, you can acquire an image directly from a scanner via: File > Import from {name of available scanner} That being said, Word for Mac doesn't appear to have this possibility under the corresponding Insert menu, in which the various choices are : - via local photo library browser - from file directory - from MS' own photo library browser - from online image repository So, the question is: - remove the menu entry and disable the functionality altogether, because it doesn't currently work, if it ever did (I don't remember) and there is a system alternative available which requires the user to go through Preview.app, or else directly use the scanner app to scan and save an image somewhere in the file system; or - implement the functionality in a manner similar to what Preview.app does ? >From a coding perspective, I'm going to guess that it would be easier to remove the menu entries altogether rather than implement (and maintain) the code to enable it ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
