A method for processing a physical document. A record is created in a selections table stored in a user device. Creating the record includes entering into the record: a document number that identifies both the physical document and an electronic document that is an electronic copy of the physical document, a page number that identifies a page of the physical document and a corresponding page of the electronic document, and a network address of a server that stores the electronic document. The user device receives an identification of where a selected region within the page of the physical document is located within the page. The received identification is inserted into the record of the selections table. Selected data in the record of the selections table may be sent to a user workstation, such that the selected data includes the document number, the page number, and the network address.
