Zoning the Page
Before recognizing text on a page, TextBridge finds the text, table,
and picture areas on the page (Figure 4–9). These areas are called
zones. TextBridge does this automatically when processing in
Automatic mode. In Manual mode, you can mark the zone yourself
or click Find Zones to have TextBridge automatically zone the
page.

Figure 4–9. Zone the page using the Zoning tools
A zoned page is divided into one or more zones. There are three
types of zones: text, table, and picture.
Text zone Contains text and can be normal or reverse
(light characters on a dark background).
Table zone Contains cell or tabular tables. Tables can be
ruled or unruled.
Picture zone Contains any graphic art such as line art, color
photographs, or halftone images.
Note A form is not a table. TextBridge does not OCR forms and does not
retain the original layout of most forms.
