options, such as page size and orientation. The options
depend on the fax application.

Word Processor Document
Format Choose the format for the converted text. For supported
applications, PaperPort will automatically choose the right
format. You can also choose other formats, such as ASCII, for
special situations. The format must be supported by both the
OCR software and the word processor application.
OCR
Package Use this option if you have another supported OCR software
package on your computer and want to assign it to the word
processor link on the Link Bar. Click on the drop-down arrow,
and choose the OCR package from the list.
OCR
Settings Click to see special settings for the OCR software package you
selected. Two typical options are:
Auto Orientation—Matches the orientation of the converted
text to the original text.
Decolumnized Output—Organizes the text into a single
format, even if the original document has multiple columns
such as those in a newspaper article. (Use trial and error with
this setting to see if it works for your scanned items.)
