OmniPage has seven panels: Thumbnails,
Page Image, Text
Editor, Document Manager, Workflow
Status, Easy Loader and Help.
Customizing the panels
A panel can be docked or undocked.
A docked panel is fixed in position. Docked panels can be tiled, as in
traditional Classic View, or on tabbed panels (Flexible or Quick Convert
View). The tabbed option gives maximum screen space to the active tab,
but you can switch quickly to and from other tabs.
An undocked (floating) panel
can be dragged to any position. When undocked, it can be resized by its
borders.
You can drag a floating panel
by the mouse to one of the allowed docking positions. When a panel is
dragged and hovered or moved above another one, purple coloring indicates
possible docking positions. The dropped panel can be docked to a left
or right vertical splitter, a top or bottom horizontal splitter or to
a tabbed position.
This figure shows an arrangement in tabbed position.
Tiled panels (i.e. non-overlapping
and separated by splitters) can be minimized. In minimized state a panel
is represented by its title bar on the appropriate side of the screen.
For example, if a panel is displayed on the left side before minimizing,
its title bar appears also on the left. Hovering the mouse above the title
bar of a minimized panel restores its size temporarily. This allows quick
viewing without permanently restoring it. When you move the mouse away
from the title bar, the panel gets minimized again.
To display or hide a panel
To minimize or restore a panel
To dock in or out
Double-click a panel title bar
or tab to dock it out (i.e. make it floating).
Double-click the panel's title
bar to restore it to its previous docked state, or drag it to a new docking
location.
To switch between a tabbed and a tiled panel
Click on the tab and drag it
into the working area to get a tiled panel.
Click on a panel title bar and
drag it next to another tab to return it to a tabbed display. If no tab
remains, use the Space bar as described below to reach a tabbed docking
position.
Use the Ctrl key to move a floating
panel anywhere without docking positions being shown. This is especially
advantageous when using a secondary monitor.
To see where a panel can be re-docked, drag the panel and while doing
this, press the Space bar repeatedly. It will show the possible docking
positions one after the other. Release the mouse button when you find
the right place for docking.
