A scanned document is just a picture. You must use OCR software to convert
it to editable text. Your scanner probably came with some kind of OCR
software; read the manual.

I have not used any software, all I did was scan it from my photosmart and
saved it from the printer to word, then I wanted to beable to type on it
like
fill it out and then print it with the spaces filled in. It is a form for
work. I got in contact with HP person in chat, and thy told me to save it
as
RTF so what did I do wrong? Can you walk me through what to do?

You don't. What are you trying to? Are you trying to create an on line
