Do you have a scanner? If you do, follow the directions on the scanner for how to insert the paper so the writing is facing the right way. Use the software that came with the scanner to actually do the scanning.
There are usually several options within the scanner software as for the settings of how you want to scan. For example, it may ask you for the resolution...the higher the resolution you use (from say 75dpi for a website picture to 1200dpi for an image that you want to create a poster out of) the more space it will take on your hard disk, so be careful to control the size.
You can often also select what you are scanning (newspaper, magazine, glossy photo, or text) to control how the scanner "reads" what it is scanning.
If you do NOT have a scanner, you may be able to simulate one by using your digital camera. Simply take the camera and in a well-lit area, take a picture (without the flash) over top of the item you wanted to scan. The flash may give an overglare on glossy paper and you will get this bright spot on the paper which you probably dont want. You can then load the image onto your PC and crop it down to size to remove any junk on the edges that you dont want showing.

How can we help you with no information? You must have gotten a User's Guide with the scanner - either printed copy or in a file on the installation CD.
You should check the guide and set your preferences, which depend on whether you are scanning a photo or a document and the programs you have installed on your PC.
