Your scanner is presumably producing images of text rather than actual
editable text. Unless you want to retype all the text yourself, you
will need to try using 'optical character recognition' (OCR). See

Hi,
try to re scan the document and save it in JPG format, OpenOffice should
recognize it.
You may try another trick :
insert a table in OO Document One columns, two rows, the second row you may
use as the title or description,
then
click in row one
and
choose INSERT a LINK (to the picture)
Preview would show what is scanned but if the program you did not OCR (Optical
Character Reader) the file to convert it into text, OO will try to read it
based on the tension you added to the files when you scanned it. Research OCR
in the documentation for your scanner program.

I am not very computer literate. Can you help. I have installed Microsoft
scanner which works ok. The preview shows the document is properly
formatted.I download the scanned document to open office, however when I
highlight the document in the file it appears in a non readable form?

an e-mail. If you have a scanner connected to your computer you should have a
software of the scanner's manufacturer for scanning documents on your computer,
too.
Using this software you can scan your documents.
