Convert excel printout into electronic file
 

I've been asked to convert 130 pages of excel printout (roughly 3,800
lines with 8 columns per line) into an electronic excel file!

What is the best way to get a scanned document ito excel format so that
each cell is represented in the same way as the printouts?

thank you so much for any help on this!

Convert excel printout into electronic file
 
You will need some OCR software in conjunction with your scanner -
often this comes free with the scanner (eg Textbridge). You will only
be able to reproduce the values - not any formulae that were in the
original sheets.
