1. A method comprising: receiving an optical character recognition (OCR) conversion of a printed publication; determining a first distance between a first part and a second part of a first pair of adjacent parts of one or more words using original positioning data for the printed publication; determining a second distance between a third part and a fourth part of a second pair of adjacent parts of one or more additional words using the original positioning data for the printed publication; determining an order of the first pair of adjacent parts and the second pair of adjacent parts in ascending order from smallest distance between adjacent parts to largest distance between adjacent parts; identifying multiple parts of a broken word from the OCR conversion to place in a graphical user interface (GUI) window; outputting the multiple parts for display in the GUI window using the determined order; receiving a user selection in the GUI window indicating that the multiple parts from the OCR conversion are of the broken word; and automatically adjusting, by an editing device, bounds of the multiple parts of the broken word in an electronic document to form a corrected word.

The method of claim 1 , wherein placing the multiple parts in the GUI window comprises overlaying a preview pane that presents positions of the multiple parts of the broken word as to be displayed in an electronic reading device.
