How can I scan a document and then put it in microsoft word? -

I really need to scann and e-mail this document by today, but I just can find th eway of scanning it then putting it into microsoft word. Please help

you need a scanner (hardware product - price range $ 100 - 500) - with scaner you ll also get so called OCR (which is short for optical recognition) software which you need to download to yr computer after this open word, put anything you want to scan in scanner and scan it

if your scanner is directly hooked up to your computer, then open word click insert --gt; picture --gt; from scanner or camera. click custom insert and then set your settings and scan.

the way I do it is to scan each page of the document and save the files to my computer (jpg). Open Word and insert the file as an image (picture) It makes a heavy document but for a couple of pages it works fine for emailing.

you need a program developed by xerox called ocr. your scaner may have come with a small version. If not your can find it at compusa, staples ext.

You need an OCR software to convert this to text - check the cd that came with your scanner.

Let Kinko do it for you for a small fee or take a high-res picture if you have digital camera.
