I'm trying to scan a document in to word and be able to change, delete add
more to the document but it only scans it as a picture file. how can i
convert the scan into a word doc.
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.
