because this is likely to be too technical for me, but I found another discussion about this scanner and Windows XP here;

Have a read of that and see if it helps.
I also found a web site which offers drivers and manuals for the Visioneer OneTouch 5800 here;
http://support.visioneer.com/products/5800/downloads.asp
This may be a driver issue. For example, has this ever worked on your XP computer? Was it used before on an earlier version of Windows, like Windows 98?
If you do intend to try the driver offered, note the precaution in that web site to uninstall your current driver to install an updated driver.
I hope that helps.

I have a terribly outdated scanner (Visioneer OneTouch 5800) with impossibly old software (PaperPort 7.5). It works just fine, up to a point. I scanned text from a page approx. 7-3/4" x 9-1/2". The dimensions of the text itself on this page are approx. 4-1/2" x 7-1/2". I scanned using "OCR quality" setting and sent the file to Notepad, which PaperPort does for me. The letter recognition errors are very minimal and I am quite pleased. The problem is that the text will not adjust to fit the page; it will not conform to the margins I set through Page Setup in either Notepad or Word. I have discovered that I can manually remove extra spaces and tabs (which I did not know were there) but this method is obviously such tedious torture as to defeat the purpose. Did I scan it in wrong? Is there an easy way to correct in PaperPort, Paint, Notepad or Word? And BTW I do not understand why PaperPort gives me the option of sending directly to Paint, Notepad or Wordpad but not Word; nor why Microsoft Office Document Scanning will not recognize my scanner. I am running Windows XP and Office 2003. My ultimate objective is to scan from a variety of book sizes to an ordinary Word document with proper pagination and text-wrapping. What can I do (besides spend money I don't have)?
