group text boxes
I'm using XP, MS Word 2003.
We are currently using Abbyyfine 8.0 and 9.0 to create MS Word files. We have had to rescan a few pages that were accidently captured as a picture instead of text. We found the easiest way to maintain page orientation is to group all the text boxes created by Abbyy and insert them in place of the picture. There is always an exception to a working rule. The working file really messes up if we try to import the new file. We have a handful of Abbyy created documents that will NOT allow us to group the text boxes together. Any sugguestions as to why this small select group is being a pain? Any other suggestions to replace the bad page(s) in the working file with the new one? Thanks, -- Michele |

group text boxes
That's the nature of OCR - a dog's breakfast. Nine times out of 10 you are
better off scanning to plain text and applying the required formatting in Word. I seem to recall that the 'text boxes' are frames rather than text boxes and frames are a paragraph formatting parameter. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Michele wrote: I'm using XP, MS Word 2003.
