This option is useful when processing tables of different sizes and different headings.
 The option Retain word style and text paragraphs keeps the general format structure of
your scanned document.
The font type, size and type style are maintained across the recognition process.
The tabs and the alignment of each block are recreated.
The text blocks and columns aren't recreated; the paragraphs just follow each other.
Tables are recaptured correctly.
Pictures are not captured.
 The option Ignore all text outside the tables saves the tables and ignores all other
recognition results.
All data inside the tables is recaptured; any data outside the tables is not.

 The option Convert figures into numbers encodes recognized figures as numbers.
As a result, you can execute arithmetical operations on those cells. The text cells (in
any table) remain text.
Note that only figures inside tables are encoded as numbers.
 The option Merge lines into paragraphs enables automatic paragraph detection.
Readiris wordwraps the recognized text until a new paragraph starts, and reglues
hyphenated words at the end of a line.
 The option Maintain colors of text keeps the original color of the text in your source
documents.
 The option Maintain colors of background recreates the background color of each
document.
Note: in a spreadsheet application, this option recreates the background color of each
cell.
