Is there a software that can convert an image file like jpeg,bit,tiff to a ms word doc that can be edited. I just bought leadtools eprint Workstation 5 and it is unable to do it.

You can import jpeg into your document, but you cannot edit it directly. You can type on top of the image. You can try http://www.zamzar.com/ it's an online file conversion service. It doesn't say it will convert images to doc files, but it does say it will convert a doc to a png file (which is just another type of graphics file).
I found this online:

It sounds like what you want to do is use OCR software (such as Caere
OmniPage) to recognize and translate graphic text (jpeg) to ascii
text (doc).

But if the source material is HTML text, you'd be better off saving
the source document (as an html file, not jpeg) and then extracting
the text portion (i.e., eliminating the HTML tags). That could be
done manually or with a program that cleans text. On the Mac, you can
use TextSpresso to do that. I don't know what options you have with
Windows.

In other words, instead of doing a screen capture--which creates a
jpeg--go to View/Source, and save the html file as a text document.
You can even configure your browser to use a text editor (or word
processor) to view the source document, rather than using the browser
(which is the default source viewer)

I also found this program called OmniFormat. It's free, but in the free version you'll deal with this (from their home page) :

Omniformat is available as a free download. The free version of OmniFormat will display a sponsor page in your web browser each time you launch the software. If you would prefer not to see sponsor pages, you may purchase a license key for either an individual or a workgroup.
