                                                   Claim 31                                                    

                      31.     A method of processing documents in an image-based                               
                      document processing system to associate recognition results from                         
                      a primary source results list with corresponding recognition results                     
                      from a secondary source results list to improve assistance to an                         
                      operator of the image-based document processing system during                            
                      operation of the image-based document processing system, the                             
                      method comprising the steps of :                                                         
                             (a)     scanning a first type of document to obtain scanned                       
                      data representative thereof,                                                             
                             (b)     scanning a second type of document to obtain                              
                      scanned data representative thereof,                                                     
                             (c)     processing scanned data representative of the first                       
                      type of document to provide recognition results associated with the                      
                      first type of document;                                                                  
                             (d)     processing scanned data representative of the second                      
                      type of document to provide recognition results associated with the                      
                      second document;                                                                         
                             (e)     storing recognition results associated with the first type                
                      of document in a primary list, wherein the recognition results                           
                      associated with the first type of document comprise a first set of                       
                      global elements;                                                                         
                             (f)     storing recognition results associated with the second                    
                      type of document in a secondary list, wherein the recognition                            
                      results associated with the second type of document comprise a                           
                      second set of global elements;                                                           
                             (g)     placing a first window of a first predetermined size                      
                      over the first set of global elements from the primary list to define a                  
                      first set of local elements which is a subset of the first set of global                 
                      elements;
