Example 7: Scanning a Document with Mixed Tables and Manually
Locating Regions
This example shows you how to scan and manually locate a document with a table
that has some rows or columns suitable for numeric regions and other rows or
columns suitable for text regions.
To scan and locate a document with mixed tables:
1. Put Sample Document D in the scanner.
Make sure to place it in the correct orientation and to align it.
2. Select Single Column from the Locate drop-down list.
3. Click the Get Page button.
Pro OCR begins getting the page from the scanner and displays your scanner
software.
4. Use your scanner software as you usually do.
Pro OCR scans in the page and then displays it in the image view.
5. Choose Zoom Out from the View menu, or click the Zoom Out button on the
Status bar.
You can reduce or enlarge the document on the screen by using the Zoom In or
Zoom Out features.
To select regions manually:
1. Scroll the page up a short distance so that the table labeled “ZBOL Mining
Production, 1998” is fully visible on your screen.
2. Move the pointer just above and to the left of the first column header, titled
“Mineral.”
