I am running WinXP Professional. I scanned a document into a .tif and need to insert text onto the document. I'm able to bring it up in Word but cannot do anything to document other than resize it. Any suggestions?
 
When you scan a page of text, you are given the option to scan it as an
image or as text (you obviously chose as an image). There should be an
"option" that will scan the page right into Word (if your scanner software
supports it). Otherwise, all you get is a single object (image file). A
lot will depend on the type of scanner you have, the quality of the OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) software included, etc. as to whether or not
it will be worth your while.

You might be better off creating the form from scratch. If you find that
this is the direction you want to go, check out:
