it might be an add on feature and may not have been installed by default.. get an office 2010 installation setup and reinstall .. you should most probably have this as an option in the features list menu while installing.. meanwhile, a good OCR software which i got with my HP scanner was ReadIRIS. you may be able to find it for free online. am not sure.. but the softwares really good.. it can scan normal text documents and convert them to typed text in word, also scan fully formatted tables and any other content on the paper and recreate it in word in a typed format and tables are recreated as it is, images are also placed as in the printed document.. its really good. and fast too..
 
Hmmm. AFAIK, that feature was in Office 2003, not present in 2007 and 2010 by default. Must check.
