I have Windows Vista Home Premium and am trying to figure out how to scan
documents. There are plenty of instructions on how to scan pics, but I want
to scan docs to attach to email. Where is the scanning wizard?

Thanks!

Sorry, as many of us have found out, Vista Home Premium doesn't have the Fax
& Scan program.
You'll have to purchase a program .
I purchased VueScan for my scanning needs.

Some people have reported that they like Snappy Fax, for well, faxing.

Both of these have a free trial.

Actually I found out how you can scan documents w/ Vista Home Premium.
I found it on another forum, thought it would help.

How to Scan
Click the Start icon.
Click All Programs .
Click Windows Photo Gallery .
Click File and then click Import From Scanner or 'Camera'
(http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread84886.html#) .
Click Import .
Click *Scan* .

Good luck.
