scanner

I have a dell all in one scanner setup on my PC. It scans pictures great but
I want to scan a printed excell sheet and then use it. How do I do this? I
opened Office Imaging but it does not see my scanner. How do I set up Office
to recognize the scanner?

You won't have anything but a scanned image of the spreadsheet to work
with either way. So just save the scanned image as .tif and open it in
Office Imaging.

You cannot scan an Excel sheet & use that within Excel, when you scan you
are effectively creating an image.
You can scan using OCR (optical character recognition), if installed & edit
in Word e.g.
