I’m sure those directions to save as a graphic file and use text boxes will work Jay, but I’m confused. My scanner prompts to scan as a picture or as a document with edible text. When I scan a document as text I save the text as a word document.

That would indicated that your scanning application has OCR capability.
Hope this helps.

Most scanners do include an OCR program or bundle a "lite" or "trial" version of a third-party OCR. As far as I can tell, most of them are unable to make anything useful from a form document -- they
don't know how to make input fields or protect the non-input text.
