Default Anybody know how to edit text scanned into Word 2000?

I'm trying to edit text I have scanned into Word 2000 and it keeps treating
it as though it were a graphic. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

It *is* a graphic unless you have used an OCR app to convert it to editable
text.

I have an Epson 3490 scanner. How do I get it to insert my document into
Word as an OCR file?

Thanks.

You need to read the manual that came with your scanner. Each scanner model
and its accompanying software is different.
