How do I save a scanned document as a Word doc ?

[John_R4]

I have a HP Smart Tank 7005.  When I scan a document to save the only options I am give is either .PDF or .jpeg.

I would like to save documents in a Microsoft Word format.  What am I missing ?

Welcome to the HP English Community --

Your non-HP+ printer supports HP Smart Advance.

Set up and use an HP Smart app Shortcut to save your content to a supported Cloud location as a .docx file type (Word).

First >> Be sure open HP Smart > Printer Settings > and (re)check / set the Printer Access to Shortcuts.

AND

If Shortcuts were previously working and have stopped, recheck the Printer Access.

Even if not yet expired, set the access time to (for example) One Year to help make sure the access is enabled.

When creating (or editing) your Shortcut,

select the File Type as one of those offered, for example, .docx (Word).

Sample - HP Smart - Shortcuts -

Windows - HP Smart > Printer Settings > Shortcuts > Printer Access

and

HP Smart > Shortcuts > Create / Edit your shortcut

Once created, your Shortcut can be called via Shortcuts and the name you assigned to your Shortcut

OR

Scan > Preset Document or Photo > Optional IMPORT if photo file > complete the initial setup

After the content is scanned, then select Shortcuts > and select your shortcut for this task

General Example - Create and Execute a Shortcut in HP Smart app

Note that the sample shows using a shortcut created to "email" the content.

Your shortcut could be created to Save the content.
