I bought a ScanSnap as a result of the enthusiasm for it in these forums, and so far I’m very happy with it. But since I installed the software, including Adobe Acrobat 7, I have been having mysterious crashes in Word that affect the whole computer; the left mouse button stops working entirely, the keyboard and right mouse button work for a little while, and then I have to reboot. (It’s not the mouse; I’ve already tried switching it out and nothing changed.) I think this may be related to Acrobat, because there is apparently a history of conflicts between it and Word. I have several questions:
Can I remove Acrobat without affecting the functioning of the ScanSnap?
Does anyone have any other ideas (I’ve tried trashing the Normal template, removing items from the Word Startup folder, updating, virus scanning, removing Contextual Menu items, and just about everything else that’s been recommended in any forum!)?
Is there another word processor that will export into Word with formatting, especially footnotes, completely intact? I’ve looked at most of the big ones, and this appears to not be a seamless process in any of them?
Sorry if this is too OT, but I didn’t know where else to turn
