Default Scanned item needs Font changed and Font size changed

I scanned an item in hand-written text into a TIF file, and now want to save
myself time by not having to transcribe by re-typing into whatever font. So,
I want to high-lite the written text on the scanned item, and superimpose or
transcribe by high-lighting the written text, and then changing the Fonts &
Font Size, e.g. hand-written script to Times New Roman 12. In Word 2003, can
that be done?

In order to edit the scan in any way, it will have to be converted to text
using an OCR program. You can't do anything with it as long as it is a
graphic (TIFF).
