Title: Need help--How can I separate mass overlapping text?
Post by: xiaxiang on November 09, 2010, 02:04:00 AM: Just thought I would throw this one out there, in the hope someone may have some clever way to separate masses of single overlapping text.
Thanks a lot!
Maybe this one

What differentiates the current text entities?

Maybe "Automatically avoid"

Post by: cmwade77 on November 09, 2010, 08:00:47 PM: I can think of a few ways that this can happen. I too want to know more about what needs to be accomplished though to provide a decent suggestion.

When Translating from one language to another

That's a very short scenario... Please be more specific.

What do you not like about this routine? It might help with coming up with a better one.
