This is a simple but frustrating request -- I have a page of figures and have scanned it into my documents? - This may be the wrong place - so I would like to re produce the page altering the text and figures on it to form a (second) separate sheet from the original sheet - how do I do that - All I get is a jpeg doc or similar so its like a picture and cannot be altered - I know this is a basic request - but you don't know what you don't know - thank you in advance

A scan is essentially just taking a picture of a document, so that's why you can't alter it any more than you'd be able to alter it if you took a picture of the document with a camera.

There are optical character recognition (OCR) programs that will convert the scan into a document. office one note is such a bt of software which you may already have (as you have word)

It was possible in Microsoft Office 2003 - no doubt it will also work in later versions.

Convert youur Scanned document into .TIFF format
Open that image 'Microsoft Office Document Imaging'
Go to the Tool menu then the option 'Send Text To Word'
or you may use the option 'Recongnize Text Using OCR'

The text of your original scanned document will now be converted into an Editable Word file.

Note : it will not work on ur hand written documents

What format is your page of figures? Is it Excel?
