Customizing Zones

72 

Chapter 5

Zone Type

Every zone on a page has a zone-type setting. You can select the 
following zone types:

• Single-column text zone for text zones that contain a single column

• Multiple-column text zone for text zones that contain multiple 

columns

• Table zone for text or numeric zones that contain data in rows and 

columns

• Auto-detect zone for the automatic detection of zone-content type 

(not usually recommended)

• Graphic zone for photos, drawings, and areas of text that you want 

to retain as a graphic

• Reverse-text zone for single columns of light text on dark 

background

Zone Content

All text zones on a page also have a zone-content setting. This specifies 
the characters OmniPage Pro looks for within a zone during OCR. You 
can select Alphanumeric or Numeric as the zone-content setting.

For example, if a particular zone only contains numbers and 
mathematical signs, you can specify the contents of that zone to be 
Numeric. OmniPage Pro will only look for numeric characters in that 
zone during recognition. 

OmniPage Pro assigns a zone type and Alphanumeric contents to each 
zone when it creates zones automatically. This is true for all zones 
recognized automatically, except graphic-content zones. You do not 
need to change the zone properties unless you want to modify the way 
zones will be treated during OCR. 

To change the properties of a zone:

1

Select the zone you want to modify by clicking it.
You can Shift-click to select multiple zones. Selected zones are 

shaded.
