If you scanned an original that has graphics or artwork surrounding the text, the scanner might not have recognized the text.

Text format is incorrect

Solution: Some applications cannot handle framed text formatting. Framed text is one of the scan document settings in the software. It maintains complex layouts, such as multiple columns from a newsletter, by putting the text in different frames (boxes) in the destination application.
