Scanners or optical character readers are initiated through their own programs. You may have had a scanner program in Windows which added a macro and menu item to Office so that you could scan a document directly into Word or other Office programs.

Office 2008 for the Mac unfortunately does not support macros. What you'll have to do is scan a document and save it to the clipboard or the scanner's clipboard, and use the insert function to paste.

Regards.
