How do I create a template using my scanner?
I need to create a template from a document we frequently use in the office
and would like to show my boss how he can easily open the file enter client info required for each form, save it, print it and be done. Instead of how he has been doing it. Which is go online, print it, insert it in an old typewriter, type in all the info, makes a copy for his files & gives the one he just typed up to the customer. It normally takes him about 30-45 minutes each time. I know how to scan & save the document but I haven't been able to add any text to the document and when I try to open it with Word it comes back in all kinds of crazy characters even after I perform the OCR check Please Help!!!!!

The scanned image of your form is not a Word template and won't function as
one. You will need to re-create the form in Word, with appropriate form fields (text fields, check boxes, drop-down menus, etc.) where data will be entered. Then you need to protect it as a form and save it as a Word template.
