Default need to convert paper document back to excel.

Hello,

I have a paper document that was printed from an Excel spreadsheet. The
actual Excel file has been lost, and now I only have the printout. Is there
any way for me to get this printout back into an excel format? There aren't
any formulas that I have to worry about, just many pages of data.

Thanks

Scan and import as text using OCR (normally comes with a scanner if you are
using a higher end scanner the software probably has excel conversion as an
option) In Paperport you can scan to an image and then just drag the image
to an excel icon and it will be converted to text (if the text is clear
enough to be recognized)
