How to type on Scaned Document in Word
Sounds like you scanned it as an image. You will need to scan as OCR in order
to type on it, though you could add text boxes in appropriate places but that would be very slow. -- Rae Drysdale "Greenview" wrote: I have scanned an order form into m/s Word and saved it, can anyone tell me how I can just print in this form and fill it in as needed.

How to type on Scaned Document in Word
Converting scanned form documents to text requires good OCR software and a
lot of patience. An alternative would be to build a table over the image inserted behind text, again a lot of work and hardly practical for a one-off, unless you have far too much time on your hands. If you have a lot of similar forms to fill then you need an application designed with that it mind. Abbyy used to include a form builder with its Finereader OCR software but now appears to sell it as a separate application. My guess is that this would be far too expensive for casual use. You could always use a pen. Sometimes old technology is the best option. Computers are only the better option if they save you time. On this occasion that is most unlikely. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Greenview wrote: I have scanned an order form into m/s Word and saved it, can anyone tell me how I can just print in this form and fill it in as needed.
