Editing paragraph attributes
In all formatting levels except Plain Text, you can change the alignment of selected paragraphs
and apply bulleting to paragraphs.
Paragraph styles
Paragraph styles are auto-detected during recognition. A list of styles is built up and presented
in a selection box on the left of the Formatting toolbar. Use this to assign a style to selected
paragraphs.
Graphics
You can edit the contents of a selected graphic if you have an image editor in your computer.
Click Edit Picture With in the Format menu. Here you can choose to use the image editor
associated with BMP files in your Windows system, and load the graphic. Alternatively, you can
use the Choose Program... item to select another program. This will replace the Default Image
Editor item. Edit the graphic, then close the editor to have it re-embedded in the Text Editor. Do
not change the graphic’s size, resolution or type, because this will prevent the re-embedding.
You can also edit images before recognition using the Image Enhancement tools.
Tables
Tables are displayed in the Text Editor in grids. Move the cursor into a table area. It changes
appearance, allowing you to move gridlines. You can also use the Text Editor’s rulers to modify
a table. Modify the placement of text in table cells with the alignment buttons in the Formatting
toolbar and the tab controls in the ruler.
Hyperlinks
Web page and e-mail addresses can be detected and placed as links in recognized text. Choose
Hyperlink... in the Format menu to edit an existing link or create a new one.
Editing in True Page
Page elements are contained in text boxes, table boxes and picture boxes. These usually
correspond to text, table and graphic zones in the image. Click inside an element to see the box
border; they have the same coloring as the corresponding zones. The Help topic True Page
provides details on the operations summarized here.
Frames have gray borders and enclose one or more boxes. They are placed when a visible
