Scanner to Excel
hi
no way to do that. a scanned document is an image(picture) and excel can display images in various picture formats but cannot read them as a document. sorry. FSt1 "agrin" wrote: I would like to scan my receipts and import them into Excel, does anyone know of a way to do that? Thanks |

Scanner to Excel
agrin,
If these are store receipts, it'll be a big task. Your scanner probably has OCR software, but you'll have to manually pick the relevant data. Might be better to hand key it. -- Regards from Virginia Beach, Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com Note: Top-posting has been the norm here. Some folks prefer bottom-posting.

Scanner to Excel
With a scanner and a really good OCR application you will get most of your data
scanned as a text file which you open in Excel. My experience has been that somewhat less than 100% is the norm but could be my OCR application is not that great. I just tried a couple of receipts and they came out quite well.
