OCR softwares are everywhere nowadays. I prefer online ones they don't need installation and most of them are free, like this one: Free OCR.

Abbyy Scan to Office is a great little program but you are not able to buy it anywhere. Abbyy in their wisdom have discontinued a perfectly usable program for everyday people and have replaced it with another program that does not have a trial period and cost $50 more..

Another tip I have used successfully is to draw the vertical lines with a ruler and a pen in the document (the original or a copy). Then, after scanning it into word it is easily recognizable as a table, and then you can paste it into excel.

I had a Excel spreadsheet that I had printed out years ago but I couldn't find the file on my computer. I did have a copy of the printout and I just tried using ABBYY "Scan to Office" program and it worked great! It's a lot cheaper than the ABBYY Finereader Professional, too!

ABBYY Finereader Professional Edition (I have used v8) makes a good job of scanning and converting columnar data automatically into Excel format where the rows and columns are well defined (ie with horizontal/vertical lines in the original document). If they are not well defined the software enables you to put in "separators" yourself - something that can be done quite quickly. You can also load .pdf documents into it, OCR them and also output to Excel format. However, regardless of the source, once loaded in Excel all numbers are treated as text and use of one of Excel's text to number features is necessary to convert the numerical information into numbers.

Hope this helps
