I do not have a copier. So I have to take a picture of the document an d print as a photo, of course on standard white paper.
How do I convert this from photo to document?
You can insert a picture (the JPEG file) into a word document and save as a word document (or PDF). Is that what you want?
I do not know how to use a google.
Yes, a word document.
Take your document to a copy machine and pay about $0.10 per page and save yourself a LOT of aggravation!! To say nothing of getting a much better copy.

Your making an assumption he want's to print the document. I create a few hundred business documents a year in MS Word. I print only a small fraction of them. The rest are emailed or shared collaboratively as a Word or PDF document. Even when shared very few are ultimately printed these days. Its fast becoming the era of the paperless office. In any case, even if he wanted to print it, most home printers today can also be used as copying machines with excellent results.
Have you tried "copy" from file and "paste" into Word document?

The video using Google Drive seems to present a good solution.
I have found out that it is easier to take a screen shot of the image, copy or download it to save it to the computer download list for future use, and than paste it to a blank page in Word and print it if desired. Works for me every time. Just my 2ยข.

I've often done what CHG CANON suggests, but wouldn't it also work just to print the photo on regular copy paper?

I use an app on my phone, Office Lens, it's an MS product, runs on all phones. You can take an image of several different originals, document, image, whiteboard, business card. The app will then straighten it and clean up the image, which can then be saved to the location of your choice.
Been using it for years and I highly recommend it. best of all it's free.
If it's a document you wish to edit then you'll need to run the finished capture through some different software.

Are you trying to make it an editable document? Or just an electronic copy that you can duplicate?
If I understand, you want to take a picture (JPEG) of a printed page and turn it into text that can be edited. I do this often using OCR (optical character recognition) software that is part of my desktop scanner/printer. The picture to text conversion is not perfect but usually successfully converts about 95% then I "clean up" the text after the scan. Take care & ...
It would seem that the purchase of an all in one printer that includes the copy function would be so worth it. If you need to edit the text later Google Drive, Adobe Acrobat (full version, expensive) or a OCR program would be necessary.
