How do I know if my scanned document has text boxes or frames?
I do alot of scanning textbooks and I must produce electronic documents free
of hidden text boxes and frames. Randomly left clicking around each page brings up hidden boxes and frames but there has to be a more efficient way of knowing if and where these are in a document. |

If you have text boundaries displayed, you'll see the outlines of the text
boxes or frames. Text boxes (when selected) have round white sizing handles; frames have square black ones. -- Suzanne S.

Some OCR software products use frames to attempt to retain the Word
formatting. This gives rise to the sort of hidden frame issue that you complain of and makes the resulting document very difficult to edit. You *may* be better considering scanning to plain text, which will not have any frames, or installing some better OCR software. One first class product that doesn't use frames in this manner is Finereader 9. If you have a lot of this type of work to do you might consider trying it. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org DBDAZE wrote: I do alot of scanning textbooks and I must produce electronic documents free of hidden text boxes and frames.
