Zone templates are useful for creating zones on an image if you process a lot of documents that have the same layout and content.
A zone template has attributes including size, shape, position, order, type, and content.
Load an image and create the desired zones.
Choose Save Zone Template... in the Tools menu.
The New Template dialog box appears.
Type a name for your file in the File name text box.
Click OK.
Select the zone template that you want to use in the Original Layout drop-down list on the AutoOCR toolbar, or in the Original Layout and Output Format button's drop-down list on the Manual OCR toolbar.
Click OK.
OmniPage Pro will create your predefined zones on the image using the zone template when you click the Start button on the AutoOCR toolbar, or the Original Layout and Output Format button in the Manual OCR toolbar.
TIP: You can have OmniPage Pro look for zones on your document that are outside the zones contained in your template by selecting Automatically find zones in addition to template zones in the Process tab of the Options dialog box. This is helpful if you only want to process certain areas of a page. Manually draw zones around the areas you do not want processed and set the zone type to Ignore zone for those zones. OmniPage Pro will automatically look for zones on the rest of the document during OCR.
