ok. my husband wants me to scan a form they use at work onto a floppy. No problem with that, but what he really wants is it converted to an excel FORM so that they can use it on the computer at work and enter stuff onto the form. I'm at my wit's end have tried it every which way and can not accomplish this "simple" (to him anyway) task. He says this can be done. I have word 2000, adobe photoshop, presto page manager. I can scan it, save it, but I can't figure out how to convert it to excel. I can paste it into excel, but then it's just a picture and you can't actually use the form. It doesn't have to be excel, it can be word or word perfect. Any help appreciated. I have TRIED for about 18 hours to do this. I quit. Thanks.

I put several forms into Excel and Word for my dad who works in law enforcement - they're not perfect 100% but he loves being able to fill them out on the computer, print them and be done with his quarterly & annual evaluations.
And don't have to read his handwriting - his bosses love it.
