Can I Somehow load a Spread Sheet thru a Scanner

[murashid]

Hi,
I am wondering if you guys may be aware of a hardware or a software product that can provide me the capability to put scanned table data in
a spread sheet format. For example, I make a Xerox copy of a data table from a book and now I scan it with a scanner. Now an option for me to manually enter that data numbers into spread sheet. So, my question to you is if you may have a software that can actually save me the manual typing of that data into a spread sheet format. Please let me know; any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance !!! Please email me at [email protected], if you may have any hints.
Thanks.

Typically (well, at least with my last 2 scanners) the software program
that came with the scanner had/has the ability to convert the scanned
image into text and save files in a variety of formats or transfer the
data to a variety of programs (XL, Word, etc.) You should look into
the capabilities of the software that scans the data. Hopefully, it
also includes the ability to convert the scanned image into
text/numbers and save the results in at least a text file.

Remember to check the responses to the multipost in .excel,
..excel.charting, .excel.misc, .excel.newusers, .excel.programming, and
..excel.worksheet.functions. And, that's only the NGs I checked.
