Auto-zone a page background

Acquire a page. It appears with a process background. Draw a zone. The background changes to ignore. Draw text, table or graphic zones to enclose areas you want manually zoned. Click the Process background tool (shown) to set a process background. Draw ignore zones over parts of the page you do not need. After recognition the page will return with an ignore background and new zones round all elements found on the background.

First we present two examples on zones and backgrounds. Then we detail the zone types. Lastly we explain how to draw and work with zones. In these examples the numbers refer to the table on the following page.
