About finding text
Use the Microsoft Office Document Imaging Find command on the Edit menu to locate specific words, word fragments, phrases, or punctuation marks in a scanned document. When text is found, it is highlighted in the page pane, which scrolls multi-page documents to the appropriate page. Each time you click Next or Previous, additional occurrences of the text are highlighted in the page pane.
Before you can find text in a scanned document, optical character recognition (OCR) must be run on that document. To find text in an annotation, the annotation must be made a permanent part of the document, and OCR must be run again on the document.
If the Use OCR to recognize the text of the scanned image check box on the Processing tab of the Preset Options dialog box is selected for a preset, text recognition is automatically performed on any documents that you scan using this preset.
After text is recognized, it is stored in the Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) or Microsoft Document Imaging Format (MDI) file when you save the document. If you then edit a TIFF file that you saved in Microsoft Office Document Imaging using another program, the text is lost and you must perform OCR on that file again.
