Text Formats
Selecting the text format option also selects OCR processing as an 
automatic step for scanning. Therefore, when you scan a 
document with the text format selected, the text portions of the 
document are automatically converted to editable text. See 
“Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)” on page 64.
Select a text format for documents with text or numbers, such as a 
business letter, report, or spreadsheet. The text format icon has 
several file formats available, depending on the Destination 
Application you select.
The specific file format is the file name extension on the text format 
icon.
As you select Destination Applications that are text applications, 
the text format icon changes to match the file type of the 
application. In some cases, the Destination Application supports 
several file types, and you can right-click on the icon to choose the 
particular file type for that application.
To select a file type for the text format:
1. Select the Destination Application.
2. Right-click on the text format icon. 
The menu options depend on the type of Destination 
Application you select.
