Remove instance exclusion

I understand for elements with a repeating group there is a forced exclusion from already detected instances so that no two instances may intersect.

Is there a way to remove / overrule this?

I have a section of text that is quite small and close together but they need to be captured separately, because of the closeness letters like "y" drop into the area of the line below. This is forcing parts of the text below that rise above the bottom of the "y" to be ignored in the next instance of the repeating element.

    Hi thanks for replying, I've setup a repeating group which looks for two required elements. The first is the CharacterString on the right (always 0.00 in this case) and then a Paragraph to the left, the Paragraph search area is above the bottom of the current CharacterString and below the bottom of the last found CharacterString.

    I've did it this way because all the values can change and the paragraphs can consist of multiple lines occasionally, ruling out the use of a character string.

    Hello,

    For your purpose, we offer you to use the Region element, not the Paragraph element. You may describe the borders of your region as left and bottom of your current CharacterString element and below the last found CharacterString element.

    As a result, you will get rectangles that may contain slightly cut description text in them. Just after recognition this text may be incorrect (as FlexiCapture is sensitive to the symbols cutting), but on the Verification stage it can be corrected by slightly moving the regions manually.
