Prerequisites
The following list contains prerequisites for the hotfix package:  The optimized version of this hotfix is a post-Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 2 hotfix. To install the hotfix, you must have Office 2003 Service Pack 2 installed. For more information about Office 2003 SP2, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

 The full-file version of this hotfix is also the administrative version of this hotfix. You can install this version of the hotfix on a computer that is running Office 2003 with Service Pack 2 installed or Office 2003 with Service Pack 1 installed. However, we have tested this hotfix more extensively on Office 2003 with Service Pack 2 than we have on Office 2003 with Service Pack 1. If you install this hotfix on a computer that is running Office 2003 with Service Pack 1, some file conflicts might occur. We support this configuration, but we do not recommend this configuration.

Restart information

Hotfix replacement information
This hotfix is not replaced by any later hotfix.

Registry information
You do not have to create any registry keys or modify any registry keys to use any hotfixes that this package contains.

Hotfix file information
This hotfix may not contain all the files that you must have to fully update a product to the latest build. This hotfix contains only the files that you must have to correct the issues that this article lists.

After you apply the hotfix, the following behavior will occur:
 * Multipage scanners will not flush the scanning buffer after you click Cancel during the scanning process. Instead, the scanning process will stop. Additionally, the already scanned images will be acquired by the document in the Office 2003 program.
