How do you scan and edit "stuff"?

[GoSuSeKi]

This is probably a newbie question but im kinda wondering if there is a way to scan a document or any sort of paper and edit the words on it.
Like, if i scan a reciept can i change the numbers and letters on microsoft word or somthing like that?
Can someone tell me how.

Depends on your scanner and software. Some can, some can't.

I have a pretty good all in one printer, its HP officejet 7130.
Would this work? And what programs are good to edit?

Usually the software that comes with the printer has the option. Check the manual or experiment.

Yea, it does let me edit a little bit but finding same fonts and size is kinda hard. Thanks man.
