Method for automatically applying page labels using extracted label contents from selected pages

A method of automatically indexing an electronic document stored on a computer, the electronic document comprising a plurality of pages, the method comprising:

• receiving selections of a first page region and second page region within a first page of the electronic document, the first page region defined by a first set of boundary locations relative to the first page, and the second page region defined by a second set of boundary locations relative to the first page;
• extracting a first text string from the first page region and a second text string from the second page region;
• assigning the first text string and the second text string to a page location index of the first page;
• generating regions in subsequent pages of the electronic document by applying the first set of boundary locations and the second set of boundary locations to each of the subsequent pages;
• extracting text strings from the regions in each of the subsequent pages;
• and
• assigning the text strings extracted from the regions to a corresponding page location index of each of the subsequent pages.
