The File Menu
Commands and Settings 93
For example, if you want to scan several stacks of pages at once, insert
blank pages to separate each batch. OmniPage saves the first stack as one
file, detects a blank page, saves the next stack as one file, detects a blank
page, and so on.
Save the file with a file name of five characters or less. OmniPage appends
numbers starting with
001
.
For example, if you use
form
as a file name, the first file is named
form001
, the second file
form002
, and so on. The file extension added
depends on your choice of file formats: a Word for Windows file would be
named
form001.doc
.
How Saved Text Appears
The way text appears when you open your recognized document in your
target application depends on that application.
For example, if you save a page with text and graphics in ASCII format,
only the text will be displayed because ASCII format does not retain
graphics. Graphics are only displayed in applications that support
graphics.
Normal differences in typeface sizes between applications can result in
differences in the page formatting and display of the text. The settings
within the application, such as margins, also affect the page layout.
If you use the True Page option (chosen in the OCR settings panel),
OmniPage exports text in frames. If your application doesn’t accept
frames, the text frames are not maintained in their original positions and
the text within the frames is displayed in one vertical column.
Applications that support frame-based output have the letters
TP
in front
of their names in the
List Files of Type
drop-down list in the Save As dialog
box. See Chapter 6, Using True Page, for more information.
Export Image
Choose
Export Image...
to save an image to disk in an image file format such
as TIFF or PCX. This exports just the original scanned image of a
document, not zone or OCR information.
An image file is a “picture” of text and/or graphics. When you open an
image file in OmniPage, it appears in the zone window.
