Scanning a document

[dinoboxer]

I have an Epson 1240 scanner, how do I scan a document, put it on my pc so that I can write onto it and print off the result

You could scan it in as an image (jpeg) and then use a program such as photoshop (or a free equivalent like Irfanview) to insert text on top of the image.

In Irfanview you just drag your mouse over the area where you want the text to appear, then "Edit > Insert text into selection"

When you got your scanner ... did you get a disc containing extra software?

look for OCR software
