You need to use OCR software. Your scanner probably came with some.

You need optical character recognition software such as TextBridge that will convert the scanned picture into editable text. -- Peter Aitken Author, MS Word for Medical and Technical Writers www.tech-word.com

Check your computer's programs for Programs Microsoft Office Microsoft Office Tools Microsoft Office Document Imaging and/or Programs Microsoft Office Microsoft Office Tools Microsoft Office Document Scanning If you have these, you may be able to easily "Send text to Word" after scanning. It may be a part of Office 2003 Professional. The text will still need to be verified (a little proof-reading), but it comes out much better than some old free OCRs I used long ago.
