Default How do I type on a scanned document saved in RTF

You need to scan it in as text. Just renaming a file xxx.rtf gets you
nowhere.

I have not used any software, all I did was scan it from my photosmart and
saved it from the printer to word, then I wanted to beable to type on it
like
fill it out and then print it with the spaces filled in. It is a form for
work. I got in contact with HP person in chat, and thy told me to save it
as
RTF so what did I do wrong? Can you walk me through what to do?

Just because you saved it with an .rtf extension doesn't make it text.
Did
you use OCR software?

I am having trouble typing on a document that was scanned into word then
saved into RTF format. I saved it, closed it, reopened it, and the only
thing
I can get it to do is move the whole page around. I know I am missing a
step
somewhere, how can I type on it now? Thanks
