Re: How do I know if my scanned document has text boxes or frames?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If you have text boundaries displayed, you'll see the outlines of the text
boxes or frames. Text boxes (when selected) have round white sizing handles;
frames have square black ones.

I do alot of scanning textbooks and I must produce electronic documents
free
of hidden text boxes and frames. Randomly left clicking around each page
brings up hidden boxes and frames but there has to be a more efficient way
of
knowing if and where these are in a document.
