You can have OmniPage analyze an image and create zones
automatically for you. Or, you can draw some zones manually
and then let OmniPage automatically find zones on other parts of the page.
See Zones, backgrounds and auto-zoning
for more detail.
OmniPage uses the selected settings in the Layout Description
drop-down list to determine the text flow on a page and then break it
into zones.
Form zones are available in OmniPage Professional. They cannot
be generated automatically – they must be manually drawn.
To generate all zones automatically:
-
Choose a setting in the Layout Description drop-down
list that most closely matches the original format of your document.
You can choose Automatic (for mixed pages), Single-Column
Pages (with or without tables), Multiple-Column Pages, Spreadsheet Pages,
Form, Legal Pleading, Custom layout,
or a zone template
that you have created. For more information on each choice, see Describing
original layout.
Click the Start
button or choose Workflows in the Process menu and click Start
with 1-2-3 selected. OmniPage automatically loads the page and
processes the image. After recognition, the zones are displayed on the
current page image. Each zone has an icon indicating its assigned zone type.
You do not need to change the
zone properties unless you want to modify the way page was treated during
OCR. If you are not satisfied with the zoning, you can modify the zones
and their properties.
Click the On-the-fly tool 
from the Image toolbar to enable on-the-fly processing of
zoning changes made on recognized pages. Zone changes are processed and
transferred to the Text Editor immediately.
Click 
to disable on-the-fly
processing. A red circle on the tool indicates no zoning changes are stored,
a green circle indicates zone changes are stored. Modified but still unprocessed
zones have a dashed line border.
