Where is the Start menu folder for all the shortcuts to load the Office
components (Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, etc)? In that folder should
be a subfolder called "Microsoft Office Tools". Did you move the Office
start menu folder elsewhere but not drag along the Tools subfolder?

Thanks VanguardLH - I thought the problem was with the setup of the Document
Imaging as I couldn't get it
to install/appear in the menu (it is not included in the typical install of
Office 2007).
The issue was with the description of the various elements/application which
make up the Document Imaging options when you try to add them.
The one titled Document Imaging, that I thought should do the job, is just
the document printer. I needed to install the other elements also (although
the titles of these apps actually refer to scanning etc).

I got it. The Microsoft Document Image Writer is a printer driver. I
haven't used it but believe it is used to write an "image" to a CD/DVD
disc. It is the converter used where you "print" a document but the
result generates a file (TIF or MDI). This is similar to other document
"printers" where the purpose is to convert a file using the print
command available in most applications. Other examples are Bullzip PDF
Printer, CutePDF, PrimoPDF, and PDFCreator which are drivers for
emulated printers whose purpose is to let you print from any application
to generate a .pdf file.
