import data from .tif file into excel?

Question

I have data printed on paper which has been scanned and saved as aTIFF file. I need to import that info into EXCEL.

Answer 1

You can use optical character recognition (OCR) to transform the data into a format that can be imported to Excel, however you risk introducing errors by incorrect OCR conversion.

Answer 2

A TIF is a graphics file, like a JPG or GIF. If you have OCR software, you may be able to convert the data to text. Otherwise, you'll need to manually type it in.
