My scanner came with OCR software included which allows conversion to Word format etc.
Alternatively you could use an on-line OCR service e.g. here:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0 -
Depending on the document, copy and paste might be the easiest.0

1. Scan document as .jpg at 300dpi in greyscale if coloured text, or black and white if standard black text.
2. Save document e.g. to desktop
3. Upload to http://www.onlineocr.net/
4. Save the converted document as a Word Document and edit as required.0
