How to Copy a Scanned Document to Microsoft Word
- 1). Open Microsoft Word. Click "Control-N" to create a new document. You can also go to "File" in the top navigational bar and select "New Document."
- 2). Go to "Insert" and select "Picture" then click "From File." In the pop-up window, select the scanned document image file on your computer. Click the "Insert" button.
- 3). Position the cursor over the corners of the inserted image. When the cursor turns to a diagonal double arrow, click and drag your mouse to adjust the size of the image to fit the document.
- 4). Double-click on the scanned document image to bring up a formatting menu. If you have other text that you need to add to the Word document, you can adjust the layout of the image to be in line, on top, behind or squarely aligned with the text. You can also adjust the brightness, contrast and borders of the image as well.
- 5). Once the image of the scanned document is properly formatted and fits correctly into your Word document, save it as a file on your computer.
