| Computer Program Help I have about 40 pages (it's a list of names and phone numbers) I want to scan and convert to MS Excel. I can do it but it's not as clean as it should be and when it's converted some of the letters are not picked up. ANy quick ways of doing this?

| Should be able to scan directly into Excel. Make sure your scanner settings are set for TEXT in the OCR section.

| If you are trying to import it directly into Excel while propagating multiple fields then NO it can't be done. Like Detector said, You can scan it in but your fields will not be properly seperated. The only thing I can think to do is to scan it into a Word processor, look it over to see if all the fields are in order, insert commas between the fields, then import it into Excel using comma delimited text import. Dont use fixed length or tab delimited import. If it's less than 100, I'd just simply retype it. Probably take less time.
