Customizing Zones
66 Chapter 5
To resize zones:
1 Deselect the buttons in the Zone toolbar.
(If one of the first two drawing buttons is selected, you do not
have to deselect it.)
2 Select the zone you want to resize by clicking inside it.
The selected zone is shaded and handles appear on its border.
3 Place the mouse pointer over a handle so that it changes to a
two-way arrow.
4 Hold down the mouse button and drag the handle in the
direction that you want to enlarge or reduce the zone.
5 Release the mouse button when you are done.
The zone border changes to display the modified zone area.
To reorder zones:
1 Click the Reorder Zones button.
The numbers in the zones disappear.
2 Click within the zone you want recognized first.
The number
1
appears in the zone.
3 Click within the zone you want recognized next.
The number
2
appears in the zone.
4 Repeat step 3 until all the zones are appropriately ordered.
If you do not number all the zones, they are automatically
numbered for you when you start OCR.
The numbered order of zones determines the order in which text
will be placed on a recognized page. However, if you select
Tr u e
Page
or
Retain flowing columns
as the Output Option for a page, the
order of the text will be based on the order of the original page.
To extend an area of a zone:
1 Click the Add to Zone button.
The mouse pointer in the image viewer becomes a drawing tool
with a plus sign.
