 The option Convert figures into numbers encodes recognized
figures as numbers.
As a result, you can execute arithmetical operations on those cells.
The text cells (in any table) remain text.
Note that only figures inside tables are encoded as numbers.
 The option Merge lines into paragraphs enables automatic
paragraph detection.
Readiris wordwraps the recognized text until a new paragraph starts,
and reglues hyphenated words at the end of a line.
 The Maintain colors of text keeps the original color of the text
in your source documents.
 The option Maintain colors of background recreates the
background color of each document.
Note: in a spreadsheet application, this option recreates the
background color of each cell.
