Question

Does anything here cost money? Is there any chance of getting a virus on my computer while downloading these things?

Community Answer

Some cost money, some don't. The free ones run a risk of infection, but you should have an anti-virus program installed anyway.

Question

Will everything I scan become editable?

Community Answer

Indeed, it will. Just follow these simple steps: Go to onlineocr.net or if your file is more than 5mb, use you can use pdf2doc.com. Upload your file to these websites. When the file get uploaded, select doc or docx format and click 'Convert'. It is a time-consuming process, especially if your file size is big. The moment it completes the conversion, click download the file. After downloading the file, go to your downloads and open the file which will automatically in MS Word. Now here you can edit your file and use it your way.

Question

How can I get a scanned document into Word 2013 from my printer?

Community Answer

Following the guidelines in the article should work. If you don't know how to scan a document, see How to Scan Documents . Note that you can't scan documents with a plain printer. It needs to have a built-in scanner. Otherwise, you have to either buy a scanner or go to the library or somewhere else where you can use a scanner.
