When you scan a document it gets scanned in an image format (such as: BMP, JPG, PNG or TIF). For Excel to be able to read it you will have to do a optical character recognition (OCR), which is also known as text recognition, on the scanned image. I don't know too much about it but you might want to read here and then post back if you have further questions.
