Derek -
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
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition and
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_optical_character_recognition_software
It's possible that the software that came with your scanner includes
an OCR feature.
