scanning documents

I want to scan an application form to the computer, preferably to Word, and fill it out on the computer. I can get it to Word, but I can't work on it there.
Thanks!

You'll probably need some OCR (Opitical Character Recognition) software. TextBridge comes with a lot of scanners (http://www.scansoft.com/textbridge/) but they don't seem to do a trial version. Unfortunately, I don't know any free ones. I'll take a quick look round tomorrow morning and will post back if I find any.
