Are you scanning them as pictures or using OCR software?

The only way to "scan them into Word" is to use OCR software, but the
output of OCR software is a readable Word file.

So are you scanning printed documents with your scanner, so that they
become graphics files? If that's what you're doing, you need to "scan"
them, not "copy" them -- different buttons on your all-in-one printer,
probably.
