How do I change or edit text in a scanned document?
I scan a document with HP all in one I cannot get it to let me change text in
the scan program or in word. I know this must be possible but I don't know know how. This is Micro Office 2003. |

Hi JOI-
The scanned fle is an image of the document content, not text. In order to have editable text the scanning needs to be done with OCR (Optcal Character Recognition) software. It such software came with your all-in-one, use it to re-scan the document. You can also purchase OCR programs if it wasn't included with the unit. There may also be some type o utility software to convert the image to a text file, but I do not know of any I would recommend. Good Luck |:) "JOI" wrote: I scan a document with HP all in one I cannot get it to let me change text in the scan program or in word. I know this must be possible but I don't know know how.
