How we can scan Word document

You do not need to re-enter the document to convert it to a Word file. You have at least two ways to convert a printed document or PDF to editable text in Microsoft Word. Most installed desktop versions of Microsoft Word can open and convert PDF files to editable Word documents. You may scan pages and open recognized text in Word using a camera on an iOS or Android smartphone or a desktop scanner. Character recognition capabilities in Microsoft Word work best with documents that are primarily textual. For example, Microsoft Word is more likely to open and convert a contract that consists of several pages of printed text, while Word may have difficulty recognizing text clearly in a booklet where the text is printed within or around images in any other than one column.

Scan documents and open with Word installed

You'll need a working scanner connected to Windows or macOS, along with a relatively new version of Word. Word 2019, Word 2016, Word 2013 and Microsoft 365 support the ability to open and convert PDF files to Word documents. Although Microsoft offers some guidelines for converting PDFs to words for older versions, such as Office 2010 and Office 2007, the process is more complicated.

1. Follow the scanner manufacturer's instructions to scan the document into a PDF file. Save this file to a location you remember on your computer.
2. Open Microsoft Word.
3. Choose File> Open, and then navigate to the location of the saved PDF.
4. Select a PDF file and select Open. Word opens the PDF file and converts the recognized text into an editable document.
5. Please read the converted text carefully, as some letters may be incorrect. The system can display items that are not defined in the document as images.
