Perhaps that might work better than Finereader's default Greek recognition.

Thanks
I realized my error in not defining properly the reading areas and in fact the non-text items came out much better after implementing your hints. The text rendering still remains problematic, though.
I could probably improve the pagination and correct the misprints manually, but, as you said, it would be painstakingly long. Going into fine tunings such as TRAINING and PATTERN-CREATING sounds a bit complicated and in the end I don’t know if the result will be worth the time consumed. I really think that, even discounting my lack of proficiency on this subject, we are reaching the limits of what readers like ABBYY can do, however sophisticated they may be..
Concerning the issue of the rendition of Greek texts, you mention that ABBYY may have problems with TWO COLUMNS material and suggest some ways to circumvent the snag.. In my case, though, my texts, technically, do not have TWO COLUMNS per page: the Greek text is entirely on one page and the English translation on the following page, synchronized and aligned with the Greek text paragraph by paragraph. I don’t know if this layout is read by ABBYY as a TWO- COLUMN pagination, thus adding to the problems.
Thank you again
