Scanning anything will normally only produce a 'picture' of whatever has
been scanned. To make it editable in Word you need to use a utility called
an OCR (Optical Character Recognition). Usually, a very basic version of OCR
is supplied on disk with your scanner. Make sure it is installed. Then scan
the document and tell the software to perform an OCR scan. This should
provide an editable version of the document.
