I’ve just installed my ScanJet 4670, and pressing the scan button on the unit presents me with a dialog box that allows me to choose among all of the programs installed on my system that can interface with the scanner. So here’s the list:

• Canon ZoomBrowser EX
• hp scanning software
• Microsoft Office Publisher
• Photoshop
• Photoshop
• Photoshop
• Photoshop

First, the non-obvious. I have Adobe Creative Suite CS2 Professional. So then, why is Publisher listed, but not Adobe InDesign? And why is the rest of Office 2003 missing? Word, PowerPoint, Clip Organizer, Excel, and Office Imaging all support scanning, yet aren’t listed.

As for PhotoShop, since I upgraded from CS to CS2, some of these four on the list are CS, and some are CS2, but the dialog box doesn’t tell me which is which. And why four? I only have two versions installed here.

I’ll have to investigate this further, when I’ve taken care of higher-priority items.
