Step 4
The resulting graphic file can be recognized through the standard Document Imaging utility inside the Microsoft Office suite. To quickly launch a file, right-click on it in the Windows Explorer window, select the "Open with" section and click on the Microsoft Office Document Imaging item.
Step 5

You just need to bring it to a readable form and start using it.
