Readiris outputs tabular data to spreadsheets and word processors: tables get reconstructed cell by cell in worksheets and inserted as table objects in word processor files.
The page analysis detects “gridded” and “non-gridded” tables.
“Gridded” or “framed” tables have borders around the cells, “non-gridded” tables are not surrounded by cell borders.
When the space between the columns of “non-gridded” tables is too big, Readiris may avoid windowing them as tables to avoid confusion with text columns.
When you limit recognition to the numeric character set, the symbols “0” to “9”, “+”, “*”, “/”, “%”, “,“”, “.”, “(”, “)”, “-”, “=”, “$”, “£”, “¥” and the “€” will be recognized.
Do not select this option when your tables contain text!
To interface with spreadsheets, send the table directly to Microsoft Excel or select a table format.
You can send tables to the clipboard with the option Send to - Clipboard Microsoft Excel!
To interface with word processors, send the table directly to Microsoft Word or select the text format Word (DOC), RTF (“Rich Text Format”) or HTML. You must retain the word and paragraph formatting or recreate the source document.
