I need to scan a document into word 2007 and then be able to write into it.?

October 26, 2009 - 3:25 pm 2 Comments

I have an application form that I need to insert text into and only have the hard copy to scan. I have tried the OCR and document imaging options in word 2007, I am unable to insert text . When the document convert sto word, it looses all the margins and spacing. My only other choice is to retype all 7 pages. HELP!

That’s about par for the course for OCR. People expect exact copies of the paper showing up on the Word screen, but OCR just ain’t there.

You’re probably going to have to fill in the paper by hand or typewriter. You might want to make a photocopy of the form before you fill it in so you can go back and make a neater hand-in copy if you need to.

Sorry.
