Reordering Zones

You can reorder manually-created zones on an image any time before OCR. Reordering zones after OCR requires the image to be processed again.

NOTE: The numbered order of zones determines the order in which text will be placed on a recognized page. However, if you select True Page or Retain Flowing Columns as the Output Format option for a page, the order of the text will be based on the order of the original page.

To reorder zones:

  1. Click the Reorder Zones button in the Image toolbar.

    The numbers in the zones disappear.

  2. Click within the zone you want recognized first.

    The number 1 appears in the zone.

  3. Click in the zone you want recognized next.

    The number 2 appears in the zone.

  4. Repeat step 3 until all the zones are appropriately ordered.

    If you do not number all the zones, they are automatically numbered for you during OCR.
