You will need some Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to convert
the scanned image into text that can be edited. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Was Document Imaging introduced in Word 2002? If so, it provides rudimentary
OCR capabilities. I very much prefer to use those that came with my scanner, though. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Scan a Text document to word,and type within the document.
Hi Cynthia,
I do not know if this helps or not. I scanned a document with graphics and text and I wanted to type in the graphic area and by clicking on the drawing button in the standard toolbar and then the text box button in the toolbar that comes up at the bottom I was able too enter text wherever I wanted but it was overlaid on top not part of the graphic.
