I believe you'll have to use what's called Optical Character Recognition (OCR), to save this as a .doc. What this technology does, is looks at an image the scanner imports, and searches for predefined patterns that it determines to be letters. It's not flawless technology, but it has improved quite a bit since its conception (sometimes it will say a a vn is a w, or something, but it's generally pretty good in my experience. I'm not sure exactly how your software will enable this, but look for OCR somewhere, and you should be set.
