Can I Somehow load a Spread Sheet thru a Scanner

[murashid]

Hi,
I am wondering if you guys may be aware of a hardware or a software
product that can provide me the capability to put scanned table data
in
a spread sheet format. For example, I make a Xerox copy of a data table
from a book and now I scan it with a scanner. Now an option for me to
manually enter that data numbers into spread sheet. So, my question to
you is if you may have a software that can actually save me the manual
typing of that data into a spread sheet format. Please let me know; any
help is appreciated. Thanks in advance !!! Please email me at
(e-mail address removed), if you may have any hints.
Thanks.
Musharaf

You'll probably need to get some OCR software which will "read" the scanned
image and convert it to an editable document. Omnipage is very good.

Remember to check the responses to the multipost in .excel,
..excel.charting, .excel.misc, .excel.newusers, .excel.programming, and
..excel.worksheet.functions. And, that's only the NGs I checked.
