Is there a way to scan a page full of letters and then with some kind of software convert all this into the clipboard, so i can paste it later in word or excel....

Its just that if this is not possible i have to type it myself and there are like 14 pages... :(

Thanks

i dont use or know much about this but what you need is OCR software for your scanner, it recognises characters

ABBYY FineReader (http://www.abbyy.com/finereader/) is one of them

I second this software, you could also use Omnipage, it is good
