19. A computer readable storage device containing computer executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, perform a method to convert a fixed format document containing vector graphics and text into a flow format document, the method comprising the acts of: opening a fixed format document containing vector graphics and fixed format text; identifying one or more vector paths associated with a run of the fixed format text; aggregating the one or more vector paths associated with the run of the fixed format text into one or more lines; classifying the aggregated vector paths as one or more characteristics that are associated with the run of the fixed format text; and displaying in a flow format document the run of the fixed format text as flowable text having the one or more characteristics associated with the run of the fixed format text.

The computer readable storage device of claim 19 characterized in that displaying in the flow format document the run of the fixed format text as flowable text having the one or more characteristics associated with the run of the fixed format text includes displaying the run of fixed format text as flowable text with a background shading when the one or more vector paths form a filled shape substantially enclosing the run of fixed format text.
