how 2 write on a scanned document put into a word document
I scanned-in a page of written information and saved it to a mircosoft word
document. When I tried to write on the word document I wasn't able to. Graham Mayor wrote as an answer to "Marilyn" that what was needed was OCR software. Where would I find that software. I own an HP Scanjet 4800 and don't recall anything like OCR software with the scanner. |

Read the documentation that came with your scanner.

how 2 write on a scanned document put into a word document
Most scanners come packaged with some form of OCR software that might be
better than the rudimentary OCR software - Microsoft Office Document Imaging - that comes with recent versions of Office but which is not installed by default (re-run Office setup and add it). Or if you want something better, there is a variety of commercial OCR software packages available of which my favourite is Abbyy Finereader. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org storcha wrote: I scanned-in a page of written information and saved it to a mircosoft word document.

Do you have Microsoft Office Document Image Writer? Go to File, Print - it
would be there if you have it. It has recognize text using OCR. "storcha" wrote: I scanned-in a page of written information and saved it to a mircosoft word document.
