Scanning into word file

[yokensearch]

I have a document that I'd like to scan into word so I won't have to retype
it in all over again. It scans into PDF fine but into word, it gets jumbled a
bit. What to do?

 

[Peter T. Daniels]

Proofread carefully. If it's only jumbled "a bit," you're lucky.

You can either scan as an image (non-editable) or by, using OCR software, as
text. There is no perfect OCR software and even the best will require some
editing of the output. Abbyy Finereader 9 makes a fair stab at producing an
editable version of the original. Microsoft Office Document Imaging can read
the text OK, but provides no useful formatting.
