The Pattern Training Dialog

The top dialog window displays the character you train. The frame enclosing the character must fully enclose the character or several characters (in case you train ligatures).

Effects group
Italic Specifies that the current character is italic.
Bold Specifies that the current character is bold.
Superscript Specifies that the current character is superscript.
Subscript Specifies that the current character is subscript.
Back (button)

If you have made a mistake during training, you may click the Back button and the frame will go back to the previous position, and the latest pair "image-character" will be removed from the pattern. This "undo" is limited: you may only "undo" training in the last word.

Skip (button)

Skips the current character. Use this button if what the frame encloses is not a character, or if you weren't able to enclose a character or a group of character fully.  
Note:: If you click the Skip button, you'll see the ^ character in the recognized text in the place of the character you skipped.
