typeing onto scanned documents

[Guest]

How do I type on to scanned document saved on file/save as. I have sent this
message before and still trying to get to grips with this facility and pardon
me if i'm a nusience.

You can either scan it in as a picture and place text boxes wherever you
want to insert text or you scan it in with OCR software and convert it to
text.

A scanned document will be a graphic and not editable in Word, unless you
use OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert the scanned
image to text.

You can however set the layout property of the inserted image to 'behind
text' and write *over* it.

.... And thanks for posting the same thing *twice* - I just wasted my time
answering your earlier post only to find 2 other replies here that basically
provide the same answer.

Very sorry about this but I was a newcomer to this site and I'm a bit wiser
now .
Thanks for your patience. Feel free to pull me up again as learning by
mistakes does work.
