My scanner, an HP5100C, allows me to scan in sheet music, as a text file to my WP program. There is editing involved, but it sure beats typing all that in!

To send a complete page, with music included, I just choose to send it to my Corel or Adobe photo program, so that I literally "take a picture" of it with the scanner. Then I can choose jpg format or whatever to send it to someone by email quite easily.
