Default Open TIF or MDI files in Excel

On your excel sheet, "Hyperlink" to the file that you scanned. Then when you
click on the Hyperlink your document will open.

Why did you OCR to a graphics format?
Normally one OCRs to something like Word, WordPad, Notebook
These can be copied or imported into Excel

I have scanned paper documents into TIF and MDI files using Microsoft
Office
Document Imaging with OCR. How can I open either of these file formats
(TIF
or MDI) in Excel? Your input will be greatly appreciated.--
