A friend of mine scanned a form for me and sent me the scanned

any way to load the .jpg images into OpenOffice.org and then
superimpose text over the areas of the image that need to be
filled in?
The short answer is yes as can be seen in the attachment. The picture is
a png as this is a lossless format and the text was inserted via the
Draw Text tool which illustrates that it can be done. I question whether
or not the time it will take to insert text fields in that form and
match up sizes et cetera will be worth the effort.

I tried doing that with tax forms that I got from the IRS in pdf format.
Took a snapshot of the entire page with Adobe Reader and inserted the
graphic (bmp) as a background to a Calc file. Adjust row and column
widths to match the lines on the form and voila! However, for some
reason it wouldn't maintain quite the same spatial relationship if I
clicked to a different tab and then back again.
All in all a frustrating waste of time.
