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, Office Document Imaging must perform optical character recognition (OCR) on that 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, text recognition is automatically performed on any documents that you scan.After text is recognized, it is stored in a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file with a .tif extension. If you then edit the TIFF file using another program, the text is lost and you must perform OCR again.
