Figure 4-68. Defining Cells
What you are doing by drawing the cells in the line item is creating a template
(consisting of the blue rectangles). This template is then passed over the document
line by line. Every time it aligns with a pattern of data, a line item is identified.
As you can imagine, if your table model contains only two columns, you can only
draw two blue rectangles. Such a template may fit many lines on your document.
Therefore, if the table model has only a few columns but the line items have more
cells, you can use anchor rectangles do make the template more accurate. Using
anchors makes the template more precise. This means that the template that is now
passed over the document to find line items will find fewer “wrong” line items.
