You will need to download and install a program called "Scanned Text Editor"

• The program allows to edit any scanned document without losing any information and layout and quality will remain as in the original document.
  
  
• The program will NOT try to recognize the text, instead it will free the characters and pictures from the background and place it as free moveable objects over the background.
  
  
• You can open existing documents (bitmap pictures) or scan new documents. You can then move, delete, copy and paste text and pictures or add new text and pictures.

Do you any character recognition program ? If not then visit the following website - http://www.abbyy.com/.

Download and install this OCR (optical character recognition software) to allow you to edit the scanned document.

Whenever you scan any object - text or image, it is saved as an image file.
In order to edit it, you will need to convert that image file into the text format such as .doc, .txt, .rtf etc.
To do that you need an OCR software such as ABBY Finereader.

try it . it's user-friendly......
