Default Scanning OCR Documents into Word 2007 format issue

I am using a document program called Readiris and it is used for scanning
forms and then being able to send into Microsoft Word or Adobe so you can
fill out just as you would on a regular typewriter and then print.

When I scan using Readiris into Word 2007, the format keeps changing it's
not like the format on the original document all check boxes are changed
into zeros certain parts are smooched together header is also missing.

I checked the settings in Word and do not know how to make the incoming into
Microsoft Word the same as original? Can someone help me fix this problem.
What settings can I adjust in Microsoft Word.

Thank You ,
Best Regards
Dean Johnson

OCR software isn't perfect. You will rarely (if ever) get exactly what you
think you're going to get.

Very true! Proof reading is always necessary.

We have not reached the stage of that movie a few years ago where
Charlton Heston (?) cannabalized a fax machine to use the sensor to read
the numbers scrolling by on a monitor and fed them into the OCR program
of a computer to get a password.

Sorry 'bout the 'blank' reply; first time for submitting. The actor you mentioned was Harrison Ford, playing a distraught father/IT Chief, in Firewall.
