Does the IRISPen format the text?
As the IRISPen functions exactly as your keyboard does, it just outputs text without formatting it. The formatting applies as is active in your application. When you insert the text in a wordprocessor where you have selected Palatino 12 point bold, any text you scan will be in Palatino 12 point bold, whatever the original font, typestyle etc. may have been. As far as spreadsheets are concerned, the IRISPen has a special mode that interprets and recreates the frames in tables. The IRISPen automatically detects the cell borders and recreates the cell structure in the spreadsheet spontaneously. In essence, you scan a table line after a line and get a perfect result in Excel where every figure is put in a separate table cell.
