Does anyone know how to do this? I can’t seem to get it to work. I’ve got a hand written spreadsheet that I want to turn into a pages document.
Got a tip for us?

download the ‘Office’ app from the App Store for your phone, made by Microsoft, and there are options for both scan to Excel and scan to Word.

Another (free) option is an OCR app that will just give you text from an image (e.g. a scan), which you can copy/paste into Pages/Whatever:
I'd try scanning and saving it as "plain text" first.
Then you can easily edit it, inserting tab and return characters where needed.
Then, you might just do a "copy" of the relevant text, and try "pasting it" into an open, blank spreadsheet document.
