Multi-page tiff are handled by MS Document Imaging, Windows Picture and
Fax Viewer, as well as 3rd party fax software and Adobe Acrobat.

I understand you response back to me but I would still like to know what the
OP is trying to do to see if a multi-page image file is really necessary.

As I am not a fan of MS Document Imaging (I have used it but just think
other programs do a better job) I don't need the .tif file format. When I
scan multipage documents I prefer to have each page as a separate file
(unless running an OCR scan with my OmniPage 16 program.) That way I can
use the images much more efficiently in programs that don't handle
multi-image .tif files well or at all.
