Chapter 4 Proofing and editing 59
Multicolumn areas have orange borders and enclose one or more boxes. They are auto-
detected and show which text will be treated as flowing columns when exported with the
Flowing Page formatting level.
Reading order can be displayed and changed. Click the Show reading order tool in the
Formatting toolbar to have the order shown by arrows. Click again to remove the arrows.
Click the Change reading order tool for a set of reordering buttons in place of the
Formatting toolbar. A changed order is applied in the formatting levels Plain Text and
Formatted Text. It modifies the way the cursor moves through a page when it is exported
as True Page.
On-the-fly editing
This allows you to modify a recognized page through re-zoning, without having to re-process
the whole page. When on-the-fly editing is enabled, zone changes (deleting, drawing,
resizing, changing type) immediately make changes in the recognized page. Conversely, when
you modify elements in the Text Editor’s True Page formatting level, this changes the zones
on that page.
Two linked tools on the Image toolbar control on-the-fly zoning. One of these tools is always
active whenever no recognition is in progress.
Click this to activate on-the-fly editing. The red signal shows there are no stored zoning
changes.
Click this to turn on-the-fly editing off. Your zoning changes are stored; the on-the-fly
tool displays a green signal to show there are stored changes. To activate these changes,
do one of the following:
Click the on-the-fly tool with a green signal. The zoning changes will cause changes in the
Text Editor.
Click the Perform OCR button to have the whole page (re)recognized, including your
zone changes.
For details on how changes are handled in on-the-fly zoning and their effects in the Text Editor,
see On-the-fly processing in Help.
