OK. I don't think there is any such software to convert to a doc like needed. There is software that can read text text from a scanned image, called Optical character recognition.

I haven't used this program but most of what I have downloaded from snapfiles has worked great.

Well if it's just a text based form you are working with then I guess an OCR is what you need. For some reason I was thinking that what your were working with was more graphical than that. I had a older Epson Perfection scanner that had OCR included with it's scanning software. What kind of scanner is this? Maybe it already has the capabilities.
