I scanned a document into my text. But the font of the document is different
from that of the text. How can I change the font of the scanned-in document?
I work in Microsoft Word.

Unless you have used OCR to convert the scanned picture to text, you can't
change the font.

"IF" (which many miusnderstand) your both scanned and OCR'd the doument
into Word, you may change the font to anything your desire(as you may do to
any other Word doc.)

"IF", howevewer you scanned the docuemt as an image?
Than you do not have a Word doc at all and don't even need to Word to
display images.
