Question

How to remove highlighted symbols from the file in Microsoft Word?

Answer

There are 2 possible ways to remove highlighted text in the resulting MS Word file:

• Using the Shading option: select the text and then apply Shading > No Color to it.
  
  
• Using the Clear all formatting option: select the text and apply the Clear all formatting option to it.
  
  

  Note: This will remove all formatting from the text: the font type, italics, bold, etc. 

To disable the highlighting of low-confidence characters option in FineReader PDF settings, please follow the next steps:

1. Go to File > Options... > Format Settings > DOC/RTF/ODT.
2. Disable the Highlight low-confidence characters option:
   
3. Click OK.

In this case the highlighted symbols will still be seen on the right Text pane of the OCR Editor but not in the exported file.
