THE ANNOTATION TOOL BAR
After you display an item in the Page Viewer, you can use the Annotation
Tool Bar to annotate items. For example, you can highlight text, circle
information, or add a sticky note. The Annotation tools are as follows:
Pointer. Selects, moves, and resizes annotations on a page.
Selection. Selects a section of a page that you want to crop, cut or copy.
For example, you may want to copy a graphic for use in another
application, such as in a word processing document. You also use this tool
for cropping an area of a page or processing selected text with the OCR
software provided with the PaperPort software.
Straighten Page. Draws a line that serves as a guide for straightening a
page. For more information about how to use this tool, see Chapter 6,
“Fine-Tuning Images.”
Mark-Up. Adds one or more lines of text in a transparent frame. This tool
is especially useful for filling in forms because the form remains visible
when you type text on it.
▼ TIP: Contact Visioneer for information about purchasing the
FormTyper software, an application that automatically creates form
fields on a scanned form and makes it easy to tab between fields and
enter information.
Note. Writes a note. For example, you can add your comments or identify
important information.
Freehand. Draws freehand marks. For example, circle text and underline
sentences.
Highlighter. Highlights an area, item, or text on a page. This directs a
reader’s attention to specific details. If used in the opaque mode, it blocks
out information that you don’t want shown on a printed or faxed copy.
Arrow. Draws straight lines, with or without arrowheads, to point to
specific items or text. This tool works well with mark-ups or sticky notes
when you want to point out an item on a page.
