Show Tip

When you drag the mouse to select text in Microsoft Office Document Imaging, only the words within or touching the selection rectangle are selected. If you hold down the ALT key while dragging, Office Document Imaging selects all scanned text that appears between the first and last words in the selection, whether or not the words lie within the selection rectangle.

If the page you are copying has a simple layout, such as a single column of type, the text is copied in a linear string, similar to the way it was originally entered. If the page is more complex— with embedded pictures and multiple columns, for example— this technique is not recommended.

Show Copy pictures or artwork to another program

Select the picture or artwork by dragging the mouse.

Switch to the program into which you want to paste the picture or artwork, and then use that program's paste command.

Note Annotations are included when you use the Copy Image command.
