Chapter 7 - Checking and Editing Text

If the word you wish to add is already present in the dictionary, a notice to this effect will be issued.

You may then wish to view its paradigm. If you think the existing paradigm is incorrect (this is often

the case with homonymous words, for example), construct another one (click the

Add button in the

Add Word dialog).

Tip:

1. FineReader allows you to import user dictionaries created by previous versions

(3.0, 4.0 and 5.0).

2. FineReader also allows you to import user dictionaries (*.dic) created using Microsoft Word

6.0, 7.0, 97, and 2000.

To import a dictionary:

1. Select the View Dictionaries item in the Tools menu, select the dictionary language, and

click the

View button.

2. Click the

Import button in the View Dictionaries dialog and select files with *.pmd, *.txt

or *.dic extensions.

To delete a word from the dictionary:

1. Select the View Dictionaries item in the Tools menu. Select the language of your choice

and click the

OK button. A dialog will open.

2. Select the word you wish to delete and click the

Delete button.

Editing Text in ABBYY FineReader

Note: If the FineReader Text window does not display characters correctly (i.e. "?" or "_" can be seen

in place of some or all of the letters), this means that your current font does not support your recogni-

tion language alphabet in full. Select a font that supports your entire recognition set (for example, Arial

Unicode or Bitstream Cyberbit) on the

Formatting tab (Tools>Options menu) in the Fonts group, and

recognize the document again. See under Fonts for Recognition Languages that may be Displayed in Text

Editor Incorrectly in ABBYY FineReader Help.

After a page is read, its text is displayed in the

Text window. When you send your text to an external

application, the text layout is retained according to the layout retention options chosen. Set these

options on the

Formatting tab (Tools>Options menu) and in the dialogs of the respective formats.

Uncertainly recognized characters are highlighted. To cancel this feature, unselect the

Highlight uncer-

tain characters item on the View tab (Tools>Options menu).

FineReader editor features two document viewing modes: full mode (the full layout is displayed) and

draft mode.

In full mode blocks with recognized text, tables and pictures are displayed exactly as they are to be

found on the original image. The complete original layout, therefore, is retained: columns, tables, pic-

tures, and dropped capitals (oversized letters that take up several lines of space in a paragraph). The

block in which the pointer is currently located is the active block. If the pointer is moved using the

arrow keys, the order of navigation between blocks is determined by their numbering on the original

image. If the amount of text inside a particular block becomes too large for the block concerned (e.g.
