Default adding text to a scanned document

I scanned a document into Word. I would like to use this as a template so my
boss can dictate, rather than filling in the blanks himself. However I cannot
add text. Is there a way I can do this other than reproducing the form
myself. I have Word 2002 Windows XP. Thanks, Jeanne

The scanned document is a graphic. Place the graphic 'behind text' and build
a form over it using a table or tables with fixed cell sizes to take your
input. Put form fields in the table cells as appropriate and lock the form.

Thank you for your answer, but it is Greek to me. I think I will just make my
own form as close to theirs as I can.

Thank you for your time and trouble. Jeanne
