Single Column no Table—Choose this option if the document contains only one column of text and no tables. Business letters are normally in this form. You can also use this option for documents with words or numbers in columns if you do not want them placed in a table or decolumnized or treated as separate columns.

Multiple Columns, no Table—Choose this option if some document pages contain text in columns and you want it kept in separate columns, similar to the original layout. If table-like data is encountered, it is placed in columns, not in a gridded table.

Single Column with Table—Choose this option if your document contains only one column of text and a table. The table will be placed in a grid in the text editing application you have selected. You can later specify whether to export it in a grid or as tab- separated text columns.

Spreadsheet—Choose this option if the entire document consists of a table that you want to export to a spreadsheet program, or have treated as a table. No flowing text or graphics zones will be detected.

Template—If you created a zone template in OmniPage Pro, choose a zone template file to have its background value, zones and zone properties applied to all OCR scanned pages from now on.

No Formatting (NF)—The document will be plain text, decolumnized and left-aligned in a single font and font size. You can export plain text to nearly all file types and target applications, and graphics, tables and bullets can be retained. When exporting to Text or Unicode file types, graphics and tables are not supported.

Retain Fonts and Paragraphs (RFP)—This output format retains the font and paragraph styling, including graphics and tables without columnized text. This output format is available for nearly all file types.

Flowing Page (FP)—This format keeps the original layout of the pages, including columns. This is done wherever possible with column and indent settings, but not with text boxes or frames. Text will then flow from one column to the other, which does not happen when text boxes are present.
