This message for "Lord of the Rings" and "Gedstar", both of whom have been doing their best to help me out with how to use VueScan x64 for converting to WORD a scanned document from my flatbed scanner which is not compatible for purpose with windows 10.

Unfortunately, after a lot of hard work, over several hours of trial and error, I have failed to make the method work for me. I find VueScanx64 rather complicated and frustrating. For example, although I have tried to match your methods by applying them on my computer, VueScan comes up with different dialog boxes which allow me only partially to follow your solutions.
I keep ending up with a dialog box from WORD asking me to "choose encoding to make my document readable". This gets me nowhere.

Am trying to get help from a relative who is on holiday here for a few days.

In closing, do please rest assured that I always treasure all help from several people on the Photoshop Gurus Forum who invariably are not only very knowledgeable but also kind and patient with me, a slowcoach...
