Options: General

Click the General tab in the Options dialog box to select settings that affect the whole program.

The General panel offers the following settings:

Enable Direct OCR

Select Enable Direct OCR to turn on the Direct OCR feature with Microsoft Office and WordPerfect applications. Two OmniPage commands, Acquire Text and Acquire Text Settings will be added to the Nuance OCR tab in a Microsoft Office 2007 application or to an OmniPage toolbar and the File menus of earlier Microsoft Office applications and WordPerfect when Direct OCR is enabled. Direct OCR can be disabled any time. You must restart the application not to have the Acquire Text and Acquire Text Settings menu items.  

Enable OmniPage Agent on system tray

Select this to have the   OmniPage Agent icon placed on your system tray, offering workflows, even when OmniPage is closed..

Enable update detection

Select this to enable automatic searching for program updates from the Nuance web site.

Enable Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 reminder

Select this to enable displaying a Balloon ToolTip on the system tray and an installation link in Help / About OmniPage, if Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 is not installed on your computer. Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 is needed for saving DOCX, XPSX and PPTX files (for Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel and PowerPoint) or XPS files (XML Paper Specification) and also for loading XPS files. This Framework is part of the Windows Vista operating systems, so this warning will probably display only on Windows XP.

If you disable this, the Balloon ToolTip will not appear, nor will the link in the About box.  To install Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 later at any time, enable this again, or access a link in the Release Notes through the Help menu. When you click the link, the Microsoft download page for .Net 3.0 will appear. Click the Download button.

User interface

Language

Select the language that you want to appear in all parts of the user interface, including dialog boxes, windows, and menu commands. OmniPage is delivered with the interface languages appropriate to your country.

To benefit from sending documents to a Kindle reader, the interface language must be English (and, for the moment, you must be resident in the United States).
