How do I edit scanned documents opened in word?
Was it scanned as OCR? If not, you can't - it's just a picture.

How do I edit scanned documents opened in word?
At first yes it was! when the scan opened in word it did not look the same as
the hard copy i had a photo in the document that was messing things up bit so i thought it would be better if i modified it first got rid of the photo and opened that up in word!

How do I edit scanned documents opened in word?
Welcome to the fun world of OCR converted documents. Most OCR software makes
a complete dog's breakfast of formatting. If your software is limiting your formatting, scan it as plain text omitting the graphic and add the formatting yourself or you are in for a long and painstaking task. Otherwise you may have to treat yourself to some better OCR software - my choice would be Finereader.
