My previous HP Scanner had an OCR option to scan a document and save as a WORD document to enable editing. Is there software available to get this feature. Doesn't look like any of the current printers offer this option.

The HP Photosmart 7520 did not come with OCR software (OCR software is not included). Many low end AOI printers now do not have this because the OCR software may be more expensive than the printer itself. You may want to try few free software:
