Auto-zone a page background
Acquire a page. It appears with a process background. Draw a zone. The 
background changes to ignore. Draw text, table or graphic zones to 
enclose areas you want manually zoned. Click the Process background 
tool (shown) to set a process background. Draw ignore zones over parts of 
the page you do not need. After recognition the page will return with an 
ignore background and new zones round all elements found on the 
background.
