I have not had a problem yet with my scans, but have had a couple from others
recently. Wonder if it is an upgrade issue? I do not have images checked. I
know you can find them easier in the outline view of Word than in Print view,
but they are a bear!

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Finereader creating hidden text boxes during OCR
Has anyone else who is using ABBYY Finereader had problems with it creating
hidden text boxes in the Word file it creates during OCRing? How are you
avoiding that or dealing with it when it happens?
I've been working on a file created from a book that was oddly formatted on the
original printed page, with two columns per page and the text wrapped around
tons of photos that were embedded within the text. On many pages Finereader
created hidden textboxes containing chunks of the text. Sometimes it put the
hidden text boxes within headers and footers as well. With the hidden text
boxes, you can't just select everything and copy it to a new file in Word 2010
with these, either. You have to find each textbox (that's a whole nightmare in
itself), convert each one separately to a frame, and then convert each frame to
text if you want to pull out the text. This isn't my idea of fun. grin. I've
seen some macros to help with this, but if there's a way to not have it happen
in the first place it would be best.
