1. In a selective call communication system, a method of facsimile communication, comprising the steps of: (a) retrieving information from a source document; (b) encoding and compressing the information; (c) transferring the information to a selective call terminal; (d) receiving the information at the selective call terminal; (e) processing the information in the selective call terminal; and (f) transmitting the information as a bitmap image in a first format which is received by an at least one selective call receiver, in the at least one selective call receiver, a method comprising the steps of: (g) segmenting the bitmap image into a text region and a non text region; (h) subtracting the non text region from the bitmap image; (i) identifying text lines within the text region of the bitmap image; (j) reformatting the bitmap image to a second format by wrapping the text lines of the bitmap image having a number of black pixels greater than a threshold energy measure; and (k) displaying the text lines being formatted.

The method according to claim 1 wherein said step of reformatting further comprising the steps of: designating an input pointer and an output pointer; establishing a threshold energy measure; counting black pixels in the text lines; and comparing the black pixels with the threshold energy measure.
