You need to do an OCR (optical character recognition). You can buy or find free sftware to do this and sometimes your scanner comes with this software.
Beware, free/cheap software can be annoying as it will make lots of mistakes like 0=o, I=1 etc

The Letter that you are scanning is scanned as File Type of Picture, i.e JPG.
whenever you are scanning a document, Most of the scanners support the Format of a *.doc
You check it in the document save as type, now that might help you , you only need to do a little bit of Eye Search,
I mean in the Save As document type see for the file type of *.doc or look for words matching the *.Doc or Save As Word or characters,
sometype of this things
Hope that satisfies your question,,,,,

A scanned image is a picture file. Be it jpg, gif or tif. Or even bmp if you really want a big file.
There are programs that can turn images into pdf files for easier reading but you can't scan a document into anything except a picture file.

your scanner will only save your file as a .pdf or picture format. In order to edit a scanned document you need a special software...like Omnipage.

* do you have ORC on your scanner ?
a scanner takes a picture of your doc and most picture are stored as jpeg that why you need to change the setting to doc or m/s word

If your Scanner comes with OCR, use it.
OCR = Optical Character Recognition.
