Can't you just use a pen... write on the paper?

hmmm...could use text boxes lol, or draw a table, depends how your timesheet looks like

You can't just "fill in" a scanned image, it's not the right format. You need to either make it again from scratch in excel. Or use Photoshop or paint to edit as an image file.

Print it, fill it in

If you scan a document using a OCR program it will recognise the text in word and allow you to alter them . The problems arise where there is boxes , ORC programs dont like boxes and lines .I've altered details by scanning as a photo in Paint Shop Pro and by copying the numbers or text you can make a good job .You cannot just add text to it as it really stands out ..............you have to use what's already on the page .
