To use the numbers for calculations in Excel the OCR application that came with
your scanner will have to be very good when you scan the receipts etc. in Text
only format.

Once into Excel, the numbers will probably show up as text.

Format all to General, copy an empty cell.

Select the numbers and Paste SpecialAddOKEsc.

I'm using Excel to do my taxes and would love to be able to import scanned
receipts and Word documents with notes into my tax spreadsheet -- a la the
"insert a note" function -- to keep the entire year's tax data all in one
spreadsheet. I'm figuring this cannot be done but maybe one of you wizards
knows differently. Would very much appreciate your guidance.
Thanks.
