connect your scanner with the computer and place that document on it.go to "Microsoft office document scan "in the "Microsoft office tools".follow the procedure that will scan the document and store it then you can edit it or whatever you want to do.

I think you mean you've scanned into your computer an excel document?
Some scanning programmes have a function which will try to convert written text/numbers into computerised ones.
See if yours has a function. Otherwise it' manual input I'm afraid. There is a function on the excel cells which allows you copy one cells data into any beside above or below if they contain the same. This would be by by simply dragging the bottom right hand corner in whichever direction to cause it to copy.

I'm not really sure I understand the problem. I'm not really sure there is a problem. An Excel file is an Excel file. If you have Excel you can view edit and improve on it using that programme. If you don't, then it is just a load of rubbish (written backwards) and won't do a thing for you.

Not that I am aware - a scan is effectively a photograph. Can you not get your hands on the original Excel document?

I already typed a long answer to this, but when I posted it yahoo did that thing where it insists you sign in again, so it lost my answer. That is the worst part of yahoo, I have lost many a message I've typed in emails that way too.
So now you are getting a much shorter one, there is a free OCR in the link below.
