Converting part of a document to text

1

Open an Apple Fax document, then select the text you want
with the selection rectangle tool.

2

Click the OCR Selection tool in the tool bar.

OCR scans the selected text, then places the results in the
clipboard in text format. You can paste the text into
SimpleText, a word processor, or any other program that
supports pasting text. Depending on the OCR preference
settings, you may be presented with a dialog asking you to
identify characters that cannot be determined by the analysis
process. The OCR process maintains character attributes and
page layout as much as possible.
See also: “OCR preferences” in Chapter 8, “Apple Fax
Preferences” for an explanation of all OCR preference
options.
