The Scanjet 4850 has an IRIS OCR which does not recognizes Excel. Can I use
another scan programme with the HP Scanjet 4850 or is there a way to bypass
this problem
Thanks in advance for any assistance

Scan to a TXT file and import that into Excel.
Use Data |Text to Columns as needed
best wishes
 
Hi Frans,
You can probably save as a CSV file (comma separated values), or as
spreadsheet which would probably be CSV it a specific application is not
mentioned from the OCR program..

You might want to try a few times getting the paper exactly vertical
and then fix the best one
