Paragraph styles

Paragraph styles are auto-detected during recognition. A list of styles is built up and presented in a selection box on the left of the Formatting toolbar. Use this to assign a style to selected paragraphs. Use the Style dialog box from the Format menu to rename or modify a style and to define a new style. When you save a document to file, you can choose whether to export the paragraph styles with the document or not. This is valid only if the target application supports paragraph styles.

Graphics

You can edit the contents of a selected graphic if you have an image editor in your computer. Click Edit Picture in the Tools menu. This will activate the image editor associated with BMP files in your Windows system, and load the graphic. Edit the graphic, then close the editor to have it re-embedded in the Text Editor. Do not change the graphic’s size, resolution or type, because this will prevent the re-embedding.

Tables

Tables are displayed in the Text Editor in grids. Move the cursor into a table area. It changes appearance, allowing you to move gridlines. You can also use the Text Editor’s rulers to modify a table. Modify the placement of text in table cells with the alignment buttons in the Formatting toolbar and the tab controls in the ruler. When saving the document to some file types, you can choose whether to have the tables exported in grids or as tab separated or space separated columns.

Hyperlinks

Web page and e-mail addresses can be detected and placed as links in recognized text. Choose Hyperlink... in the Format menu to edit an existing link or create a new one. A new link can be to a web page or a file. Use a shortcut menu to delete a link.
