    ShowA picture directly from a scanner or digital camera

    For this procedure, make sure your device is TWAIN- or WIA-compatible and is connected to your computer. You should also make sure that you have installed the device software that supports TWAIN or WIA.

    1. Set up the picture in the scanning device.
    2. On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click From Scanner or Camera.
    3. If you have more than one device attached to your computer, under Device select the device you want to use.
    4. Do one of the following:

      If the selected device is a scanner, and you want to use default settings for scanning the image, click Web Quality (if you are going to show your picture on the screen) or Print Quality (if you are going to print your picture), and then click Insert to scan your picture.

      If the selected device is not a scanner (for example, if it's a digital camera) or you want to customize any settings before you scan the picture, click Custom Insert. Follow the instructions that come with the device you're using.

    Note  The Insert button might be unavailable with some scanners because the scanner software doesn't support an automatic scan. Use the Custom Insert button instead.
