Best Answer

If it is an image, then it cannot be converted. As far as the computer is concerned it is a picture, not individual digits. You would have to have something scanned as text in order to be able to use the text and digits that are in it. Try scanning the document in text mode. That is not a guarantee that it will pick up the numbers, as it depends on their clarity. If it does scan them in, they may not be laid out as you want them. However once you have them as a text document, then you can try to open them in Excel. Even then it may not work out right. You may have to comma separate the original text document, to indicate the break between the numbers in order to put them into the right cells, So if you have 23,14 the 23 will go into one cell and the 14 into the one beside it. As you can see all of this can be messy and may not come out as you like, so if there aren't too many numbers in the original image, you could be better off and quicker to just type them in.

How can you type on a scaned questionery?

A scanned image is normally a flat image such as a photograph, this is only viewable once scanned rather than editable. If you want to type over a scanned image it needs to be OCR'd (Optical Character Recognition) which captures any computer text. Once this is captured it would have to be converted into a Microsoft Word format for example where you can then edit the file as you would a normal document. Many scanners come with an OCR feature but there are scanning companies who can convert these documents for you to save the trouble.
