I have bought a scanner, scanned a document & want to edit the text. How do i save document to excell?



The document only seems to be able to be edited in Paint or windows photo gallery. I need excell or word to edit. Any ideas please.

u need Optical Character Recognition software !
Does your scanner have OCR?
I didn't think you could do this on your average scanner... unless perhaps some high-tech scanner or software is out there i don't know about?
you cannot edit a text coz you scanned the exact document...it will appear as it is..
now if you want to edit the text, you can jus scan the logo or drawing there, and then
the text, you type it and insert it in your scanned logo or pic...to make it real...coz if you will edit it and the font used on that document
is not exactly available in your laptop/pc, then it will be very obvious that you edited it..
on your compters software for the scanner, see if there is a option that allows you to save it too either a "word" or a "PDF" file and then rescan... that should fix the problem

(with the PDF, you should be able to go into it and copy and then paste the document into word)
Obtain an OCR software.

Abbyy FineReader is number one in my opinion.
You can find others.
You need Optical Character Recognition software(OCR). A scanner makes an image file(picture), not a text file.
Abby is shareware so you only get a trial, theres bound to be a free one on the internet somewhere though.
http://www.abbyy.com - abbyy fine reader optical character recognition software.
I'm not sure what the export options are, if it doesn't have an 'export to excel' option you'll have to export to Notepad and import the info into Excel from there.

These are safe, legal download sites. Some of the programs are shareware and some are freeware;
