How Turn On Microsoft Office Document Image Printer in XP Pro

The Microsoft Office Document Imaging (MODI) module allows users to print documents and view scanned images in TIFF format. MODI is included by default in MS Office 2003 and later. However, you need to enable the option separately in Microsoft Office 2007 and later. In addition, some custom installation methods for MS Office 2003 in Windows XP don't enable this option automatically. Whichever Microsoft Office edition is installed on your Windows XP computer, you can enable MODI with a few mouse clicks.

Instructions

1. Go to the "Start" menu and click "Control Panel."

2. Double-click the "Add or Remove Programs" icon. Scroll through the list of currently installed programs. Click "Microsoft Office" and the "Change" button in the same highlighted line.

3. Check the "Add or Remove Features" option and click "Next" in the Microsoft Office Setup window. Check "Choose Advanced Customization of applications" option and click "Next."

4. Scroll to "Office Tools" in the "Advanced Customization" box. Click the "+" to open the tree-style list of files. Scroll down the tree, and click the icon next to "MODI." Click "Run all from my computer."

5. Click the "Update" button.
