scanned document into something they could edit, i'm not sure how to do it
was wondering how i would go about doing it?

publisher if possible.

You need to use optical character recognition (OCR) software to "read" the
picture of text and output real editable text. Some sort of OCR software is
usually bundled with the scanner hardware, or you can buy it separately.
