MODI in MS Office 2016

Question

I have heard about scanned document OCR feature in MS Office.

I was trying to copy scanned document image to clipboard and paste it as text in notepad as text, but this doesn't work.

I have Office 2016 running on Win 8.1. How to enable MODI and use it ?

Solution

You can install Modi via SharePoint 2007. MODI was removed from office 2010 onward I believe.

Hope that helps

Edit as per comment. Download SharePoint designer 2007 from the Microsoft's website (its free - about 300Mb). Run the installer and under office tools select MODI and run all from computer. Install and then search for MODI on your PC.

It's the Sharepoint Designer 2007 you want to download, not the full Sharepoint install: microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21581
