with more than a single bit, allowing the image to contain
true shades of gray. Pro OCR will not open grayscale images.

hard page breaks
Special formatting that you put in manually in a text or word
processor document. Most word processors and text editors
automatically create soft page breaks unless you explicitly
specify hard page breaks. In Pro OCR, you can force the
output application to preserve the page breaks of the input
document by clicking the “Insert Hard Page Breaks”
checkbox when you are in the Save As Options dialog box.
heavy character
In Pro OCR, a character that is printed too dark or thick, so
that the representation obscures detail and reduces confidence
in the identity of that character.
I-beam pointer
A mouse pointer shape that resembles an upper-case “I”.
When the pointer has this shape, you can select text. See also

.
icon
An image that graphically represents an object, a concept, or

open. In an application such as Pro OCR, icons are also used
to represent various settings in the gallery, Style ribbon, and
Status bar.
illegible character
A character that Pro OCR cannot recognize with adequate
certainty. Illegible characters in a document are highlighted
and displayed with the specified illegible character symbol in
the text view. See also

the text view. Set in the Display Preferences dialog box. See
