The Text Editor is one of the main working areas in OmniPage.
It displays the recognition results from the current page. This may include
recognized text, tables, graphics and forms. The pages can be displayed
in any of three levels of formatting. You can change freely between these
levels using the buttons to the left of the scroll bar at the base of
the Text Editor:
The three formatting
levels are (from left-to-right): 
True Page,
Formatted Text and 
Plain Text.
Proofreading and verifying
text are done in the Text Editor.
This is a WYSIWYG
Text Editor. It has a Formatting toolbar
along the top, a horizontal ruler
which displays in True Page and Formatted Text, and
a vertical ruler which displays only in True Page.
You can format fonts and paragraphs by using the Formatting
toolbar, or the Format menu. Numbered and bulleted paragraphs can
be detected and edited. You can place and modify tab positions with the
markers on the horizontal ruler. You can define
or modify hyperlinks in recognized texts.
The Find, Replace and Mark Text dialog
box is offered from the Edit menu in OmniPage Professional.
Recognized texts can include the marking of words that were
suspected during recognition. These markers can be shown or hidden as
selected in the Text Editor panel
of the Options dialog box. Non-dictionary words can be separately shown
or hidden in the Proofing panel.
In that panel you can also choose whether to have non-printing
characters (end-of-paragraph and end-of-cell signs, right-arrow tabs indicators,
spacing dots, soft-hyphens and forced new line signs) shown or hidden.
The same is true for header / footer indicators and for reading order.
The panel also lets you define a unit of measurement for the program and
a word wrap setting for use in all formatting levels except Plain Text.
These editor settings apply immediately to all pages in the document.
The Text Editor can display texts in Japanese, Korean and
Chinese, provided that your operating
system was set up to support East Asian languages. Texts are always
displayed horizontally and are best viewed and verified in Plain Text
or Formatted Text formatting levels. Proofing and training are not available
for these languages and major editing or spell checking should be done
in the target application after export. If text was detected as vertical
during recognition, it will appear that way (including any minor editing
done in the Text Editor) in the output document, so long as the True Page
or Flowing Page formatting level is set and the output file type and target
application support vertical text.
