Find text

Microsoft Office Document Imaging

You can search a Microsoft Office Document Imaging document for specific text. Before you can find text, optical character recognition (OCR) must be run on the scanned 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.

Notes

  • The Find command is case-insensitive, treating uppercase and lowercase characters the same.
  • By default, leading spaces and trailing spaces are ignored. To change this, click the Options button in the Find dialog box. Under Ignore, clear the Whitespace characters check box.
  • Common OCR errors are ignored. For example, the letter combination "rn" is often incorrectly recognized as "m," so the Find command will locate both. However, this can occasionally cause false matches.
