scaned a map that my wife uses for work but can not change the map or street
address in it.
 
A scanned document is a graphic, and thus not editable as text. If you just
want to make minor changes, you might be able to get away with superimposing
textboxes. Otherwise you'll need to open the graphic in a graphic editor,
erase the stuff you don't want and add new text in its place.
 
No, you wouldn't be able to. You can either scan an image in as a picture or
you can tell it top scan it in as text. Considering a map, the second option
is NOT gonna work. Your best bet is to use an image editing program to do
whatever you want to do.
