Saving recognition results 81
The Save As dialog box lists available file types in its Save as Type drop-
down list. The OmniPage Document is the last format in the list.
If you first save the document as an OmniPage Document (for instance as
memo.opd), then modify it and later save it to a text file (for instance as
memo.txt), then modify it again and click Save, the recent changes are
saved to the memo.txt file, not to the OPD. When you close the document
or exit the program, you will be prompted to save the document if it has
not been saved as an OmniPage Document, or there are changes since the
last OPD save.
Selecting a formatting level
The formatting level for export is defined at export time, in the Save As
dialog box, the Copy to Clipboard dialog box or the Send as Mail dialog
box. Three of the levels correspond to the format views of the same name
in the Text Editor. However, the level to be applied for saving is
independent of the formatting view displayed in the Text Editor. When
exporting to file or mail, first specify a file type. This determines which
formatting levels are available. A table in chapter 6 summarizes this. See
“File types for saving recognition results” on page 95.
The formatting levels are:
No Formatting (NF)
This exports plain decolumnized left-aligned text in a single font and font
size. When exporting to Text or Unicode file types, graphics and tables
are not supported. You can export plain text to nearly all file types and
target applications; in these cases graphics, tables and bullets can be
retained.
Retain Fonts and Paragraphs (RFP)
This exports decolumnized text with font and paragraph styling, along
with graphics and tables. This is available for nearly all file types.
Flowing Page (FP)
This keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is
done wherever possible with column and indent settings, not with text
boxes or frames. Text will then flow from one column to the other, which
does not happen when text boxes are used.
