How do I import a scanned resume to Word?

[Jay Freedman]

By running the scanned image through Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
software. You probably got something bundled with your scanner.

But be very careful using it, especially on a resume. OCR is not reliable and
you can come up with nonsense or worse. A scanned document is a picture of
your document, just like a Xerox copy. You cannot edit it, but you can save
it as a picture.

 

[JoAnn Paules]

Emphasize *very* careful. Sometimes we read what we think it should say but
it says something else. The errors may be minor but errors on a resume can
destroy your chance at a job. (Especially if you are trying to convnce the
target company that you have an eye for detail.)
