Any advice on how to set WordPad or WorksProcessor as my 'default' word processing program so the stupid scanner will save documents to it instead of Word?

I looked and searched and explored and troubleshooted (!) and helped and everything else, but cannot find zippidy doodah about how to change my 'default word processing program'...
It does not have to be Word that is for sure. The settings for what to save it in should be in the OCR software (Optical Character Recognition)

As for the default WP, if it's trying to save it as a RTF then try right clicking on a RTF file and then properties and then change the settings for which program you want to open that file to some other.

Also have you tried Openoffice.org?

Or try uninstalling the WORD program too
