After you scan your image you can link it into Events Pictures, the same
as you would link any other image. You can't copy them into Notes or
anything like that.
If you want to turn your image into text, that requires OCR software,
which either comes with your scanner, or you can buy or possibly find
for free. You cannot scan an image and then highlight the text, per se.
It takes special software to turn image text into text-text.

I have some copies of Revolutionary War military records, typewritten
from the original, which I have been trying to scan to a file, then copy
& paste into Legacy "Events". I am trying to avoid time consuming
re-typing. Even though I change the image from jpg to text or PDF I
cannot copy them - I am unable to highlight the text and do a control c.
I've tried every trick I know but no luck. What am I doing wrong and
what is the correct way?
