Welcome 5

Welcome

Welcome to this OmniPage®15 text recognition program, and thank you

for choosing our software! The following documentation has been

provided to help you get started and give you an overview of the program.

This User’s Guide

This guide introduces you to using OmniPage 15. It includes installation

and setup instructions, a description of the program’s commands and

working areas, task-oriented instructions, ways to customize and control

processing, and technical information.

This guide is written with the assumption that you know how to work in

the Microsoft Windows environment. Please refer to your Windows

documentation if you have questions about how to use dialog boxes,

menu commands, scroll bars, drag and drop functionality, shortcut

menus, and so on.

We also assume you are familiar with your scanner and its supporting

software, and that the scanner is installed and working correctly before it

is setup with OmniPage 15. Please refer to the scanner’s own

documentation as necessary.

Online Help

OmniPage online Help contains information on features, settings, and

procedures. It also has a comprehensive glossary, with its own alphabetical

index and a table of contents. The online Help is provided as HTML

help, and has been designed for quick and easy information retrieval.

Online Help is available after you install OmniPage.

Press F1 as you are working with the program to see an online

help topic relating to the current screen area, dialog box or warning

message.

6Welcome

Comprehensive context-sensitive help aims to provide just enough

assistance to let you keep working without delay. You can access the

context-sensitive help in the following ways:

Click the Help tool in the Standard toolbar to get the

help cursor. Click with this on any item on the

desktop outside a dialog box or warning message.

Press Shift + F1 to get the same help cursor. Use Shift + F1 to get context-

sensitive help for shortcut menu items.

Click the question mark button in the upper right corner of a dialog box

and then click an item in the dialog box to see the popup window.

Some dialog boxes or warning messages have their own Help button, or a

help text. Click the button or the text to get information on the dialog or

message box.

Click anywhere to remove a context-sensitive popup Help window.
