OCR zone and will appear in the Index Setup as OCR_[Label] in

clicking on on the Barcode and OCR Setup window toolbar).
Note
The OCR label does not define or identify an index field. All index fields
must be defined in Project Setup, Indexing.

When the text in an OCR zone is on more than one line, IRISPowerscan will

string of OCR text that can be broken up into separate index fields.
Gap between words
