Use the same zoning for subsequent pages of the same document. Save the current set of zones (including their size, location, and type) as a template and use the zone template on other documents. Select zones and assign a number to each zone to determine the order in which zones are output to the text document. However, if you choose to Retain Page Layout, TextBridge ignores the zone order. You can use the Preview toolbar to quickly perform many of these activities or use commands in the File, Edit and View menus. After you complete the preview, tell TextBridge to recognize the page.

Proofreading the Document
In automatic mode, after TextBridge recognizes all the pages of a document, you can proofread the recognition results. TextBridge displays the first page for proofreading after all the pages of a document have been recognized and before you save the document. In manual mode, TextBridge stops for you to proofread after it recognizes each page. Pictures found by OCR are displayed in the same location as in the original page. Pictures in a XIF file are not shown, and place holders are displayed in their place. Proofreading is not available if you are creating a PDF file.

Words that TextBridge suspects may not have been recognized correctly are color coded. Suspect words are identified by one color and unrecognized characters are highlighted in another color. By default, the suspect words are blue, and the current word in the Suspect box is yellow in the view area and Original Image window. You can add corrected words to the user dictionary, which can improve recognition in subsequent pages of the same document and subsequent documents. The user dictionary is most useful for non-standard words that you frequently need to recognize such as proper nouns and technical words. While you are still in proofread mode, you can add pages to the final document by getting a page using either the automatic or manual process.
Saving the Document
After you finish proofreading the document, you are ready to save it. You can specify the location, name, and type of format of the output document. TextBridge converts the document to the format of your choice and saves it. You can save the same document more than once using the Save As command. For example, you can save the document as text only and then save it with pictures and layout.
