OmniWare Pro 12 ScanSoft Single column, no table, Multiple columns, no table, Spreadsheet, Custom

Single column, no table

Choose this setting if your pages contain only one column of text and no table. Business letters or pages from a book are normally like this. Choose it also for a page with words or numbers arranged in columns if you do not want these placed in a table or decolumnized or treated as separate columns. Graphics may be detected.

Multiple columns, no table

Choose this if some of your pages contain text in columns and you want this decolumnized or kept in separate columns, similar to the original layout. Columns can be retained in the output document, either with frames (if True Page is selected at export time) or without frames (if Flowing Page is selected). If tabular data is encountered, it is likely to be treated as flowing text. Graphics may be detected.

Single column with table

Choose this if your page contains only one column of text and a table. Auto-zoning will not look for columns but will try to find a table and place it in a grid in the Text Editor. You can later specify whether to export it in a grid or as tab separated text columns. Graphics may be detected.

Spreadsheet

Choose this if your whole page consists of a table which you want to export to a spreadsheet program, or have treated as single table. No flowing text or graphics zones will be detected.

Custom

Choose this for maximum control over auto-zoning. You can prevent or encourage the detection of columns, graphics and tables. Make your settings in the Custom Layout panel of the Options dialog box.

Template

Choose a zone template file if you wish to have its background value, zones and properties applied to all acquired pages from now on. The template zones are also applied to the current page, replacing any existing zones. They will also be applied to pre-existing pages without zones when they are (re-)recognized. See “Using zone templates” on page 61.

If auto-zoning yielded unexpected recognition results, use manual processing to rezone individual pages and re-recognize them.
