The positioning of elements of a broken word can be corrected by receiving an optical character recognition (OCR) conversion of a printed publication and identifying multiple parts of the broken word from the OCR conversion to place in a graphical user interface (GUI). The multiple parts can be placed in the GUI using original positioning data for the printed publication. A user can make a selection in the GUI indicating that multiple parts from the OCR conversion are of the broken word and can automatically adjust bounds of the multiple parts to form a corrected word.
