Can the OCR results of a Document or results from a Locator be used to populate cells in a table?

Question / Problem:

Can the OCR results of a Document or results from a Locator be used to populate cells in a table?

Answer / Solution:

The OCR results or results from a Locator can be used to populate cells in a table, but this does require scripting in the KTM project.

The OCR results can also be fed directly into the cells of a table.

This example puts the word values from the OCR results into each cell of a table:

Dim oWords As New CscXDocWords
Dim i As Integer

Set oWords = pXDoc.GetWordsInRect(pField.PageIndex, pField.Left, pField.Top, _
                                  pField.Width, pField.Height)

For i = 0 To oWords.Count - 1

   pXDoc.Fields.ItemByName().Table.Rows.ItemByIndex().Cells.ItemByIndex().AddWordData _
    oWords.ItemByIndex(i)

Next i

A Locator can fill a field value and that field value can be used to populate a cell. Or, the results from the Locator Alternatives from a Locator can be accessed directly and used to fill table cells.
