The Neat Scan to Office suite provides an excellent way to get receipts, business cards, and other documents into Microsoft Office. Unfortunately it lacks the organizational tools that made NeatCo's flagship product, Neat Receipts, a killer app.
Also note that this is not a Mac product. It will, however, work with VMWare or Parallels running Windows XP or Vista running a Windows version of Microsoft Office 2003 or 2007.

This is a single-sheet feed scanner with a maximum width of 8.5 inches. I didn't test the maximum length but it is at least 11 inches. Although it is a compact scanner, keep in mind you need enough room for your document to go in the front and out the back.
