Changing Zone Properties

Each zone on a page image is assigned properties including a zone type and zone contents. See Zone Properties for more information.

NOTE: OmniPage Pro assigns zone properties to each zone when it creates zones automatically. You do not need to change the zone properties unless you want to modify the way zones will be treated during processing.

To change the properties of a zone:

  1. Select the zone you want to change by clicking it.

    You can Shift-click to select multiple zones. Selected zones are shaded.

  2. Click the Zone Properties button to open the Zone Properties dialog box.

    The Zone Properties dialog box displays the settings for the selected zone. If you selected multiple zones, the Zone Properties dialog box only shows settings that the zones have in common. Other settings are blank.

  3. Select a zone type for the selected zones.

  4. Select a zone content for the selected zones.

    You can only select a zone content setting for text zones.

  5. Click the standard Close button when you are done.

    If you had selected more than one zone, all zones are changed to the selected zone properties.

You can also change a zone's type and content settings individually by clicking your right mouse button over the zone and choosing a setting in the shortcut menu that appears.

NOTE: Changes made to zones after a document has been processed require the document to be re-processed.
