74 Proofing and editing
Frames have gray borders and enclose one or more boxes. They are placed
when a visible border is detected in an image. Format frame and table
borders and shading with a shortcut menu or by choosing Table... in the
Format menu. Text box shading can be specified from its shortcut menu.
To call up a shortcut menu, right-click inside an element away from a
marked word.
Multicolumn areas have pink borders and enclose one or more boxes.
They are auto-detected and show which text will be treated as flowing
columns when exported with the Flowing Page formatting level. Use
shortcut menus to ungroup multicolumn areas and frames, allowing their
elements to be modified. You can also group elements into frames or
multicolumn areas.

elements in the Text Editor’s True Page view, this changes the zones on
that page. On-the-fly zoning can also be used with unrecognized pages.
Two linked tools on the Image toolbar control on-the-fly zoning. One of
these tools is always active whenever no recognition is in progress.
Click this to activate on-the-fly editing. The red signal shows there are no
stored zoning changes.
Click this to turn on-the-fly editing off. Your zoning changes are stored;
the on-the-fly tool displays a green signal to show there are stored
changes. To activate these changes, do one of the following:
