........can I scan a form into (say) Word, so that I can fill it in on the PC ?
Do I need some sort of O.C.R. software ?

I'm not sure if this is really obvious that I can, or really obvious that I can't.... :mad: :o

Thanks for any help gents........ :thumb :)

If it was a one off, I'd just scan it as a .jpg and post into word. You can then use text boxes to place text at the appropriate place.
