i'm trying to convert a scanned document with specific fields into a
spreadsheet. Any tips on how to do this with minimal complications.

You would need to OCR the scan (I presume this is a .Tif type of file)
and then you can Copy (select the items required, and press CTRL and C)
and Paste (CTRL / V) into the required sheet.

First thing I would do is to check the software that came with your scanner.
I you purchased a scanner for home use, chances are it came with
software most likely Text Bridge from Xerox.
