Abstract
A method of automatically archiving image information utilizing available xt information is provided. The method includes automatic extraction of textual information from a text frame and converting this information into a text file. This text file is used to construct a text header which is then stored in conjunction with the images to which it relates. Images are stored on a page-by-page basis and the text header is used as a directory address for retrieving the information as well as serving as a message embedded in the image page. A second header may also be created in accordance with another aspect of the invention to identify each image page.
