  We describe a simple procedure for the automatic creation of word-level
alignments between printed documents and their respective full-text versions.
The procedure is unsupervised, uses standard, off-the-shelf components only,
and reaches an F-score of 85.01 in the basic setup and up to 86.63 when using
pre- and post-processing. Potential areas of application are manual database
curation (incl. document triage) and biomedical expression OCR.
