You need OCR software. Read your manual and see if the software that come
with your scanner has OCR capabilities. If it doesn't, there are several
different flavors available. I can't recommend any personally because I use
what came with my scanner.

I have a 29 page printed document that I want to scan into word so that I
can
edit it, ie: change paragraphs, words, etc, and then either e-mail it to
my
son, or ptint out the edited version. I have a canon F-80
Printer/fax/Scanner, and apparently it only allows for "pictures" to be
scanned - which are apparently uneditable in word.

Thanks,
Bill
