---VOICE READ-BACK ISSUES---

--Feature Requirements

If recognized text is not audible when exporting your document using the Read Text Aloud option, the volume may need to be adjusted, or your computer may be missing a sound card and/or speakers. Try adjusting the volume, or contact your computer manufacturer for information on obtaining the necessary accessories.

--Deleting a page during Voice Read-Back

Deleting a page while OmniPage Pro is in the process of reading text out loud does not delete the text that is being read. If you click Continue in the dialog box after loading and processing a new document, OmniPage Pro will finish reading the deleted text. Click Cancel in the dialog box to stop listening to the deleted text and click the Export Destination button on the Manual OCR toolbar with Read Text Aloud selected to have OmniPage Pro read the new text out loud.

---WINDOWS 2000 ISSUES---

--Using Scanners with Windows 2000

Caere products were designed and built for Windows 95, 98, and NT. If you are running your Caere product on the Windows 2000 platform, your scanner may not work as expected. Contact your scanner’s manufacturer to make sure that your scanner is supported under Windows 2000 and, if necessary, obtain a different scanner driver. Please refer to the Scanner Setup Notes for a list of manufacturers and links to their Web sites. Testing of Caere products for compatibility under Windows 2000 is ongoing. For updates on Windows 2000 compatibility, please check the Caere Web site at www.caere.com.

---PAGEKEEPER ISSUES---

--Using OmniPage Pro with PageKeeper Pro 3.0

To use PageKeeper Pro's Application toolbar to open images or OmniPage documents (*.opd) in OmniPage Pro, you need to make the following change in PageKeeper:

1. In Windows Explorer, navigate to:  C:\Program Files\Caere\PageKeeperPro30 (or the location where you installed PageKeeper Pro 3.0).

2. Open the System folder.

3. Double-click the ibbprog.ini file.

4. In the [OMNIPAGE] section, change:

For information on adding and removing buttons from the PageKeeper Pro Application toolbar, see "Customizing the Application Toolbar" in the PageKeeper Pro 3.0 User’s Manual.

 

--Exporting Excel for Windows 97,2000 files to PageKeeper Pro 3.0

If you attempt to export an OmniPage Pro 10.0 document to PageKeeper Pro 3.0 as an Excel for Windows 97,2000 file type, PageKeeper Pro displays an incorrect thumbnail representation of the document. It is not recommended that you open the document in PageKeeper View. You can, however, view the document in Excel by choosing Open in PageKeeper's File menu.

To display the correct thumbnail representation and open the document in PageKeeper View, please follow this work-around solution:

1. Save the file from OmniPage Pro as Excel for Windows 97,2000 [TP](*.xls). Make sure that the Add to PageKeeper option is selected.

2. Open the source file in Excel 2000.

3. Choose Save As in the Excel File menu.

4. Select Microsoft Excel 97-2000 & 5.0/95 Workbook in the Save as type drop-down list. Do not change the file name.

5. Save the file and close Excel.

6. Open PageKeeper Pro. The thumbnail should be correct and you should be able to open the document in PageKeeper View.

--Saving documents to PageKeeper Pro 3.0 as Excel for Windows 97,2000 or Word for Windows 97,2000

When saving a document from OmniPage Pro 10.0 as an Excel for Windows 97,2000 or Word for Windows 97,2000 file type with "Add to PageKeeper" selected, you will receive a message that you can only open a "read-only" copy of the document because it is already in use. This is because PageKeeper is indexing the document. If you choose to be notified when the document is available in the message that appears, the process can take five to ten minutes.

--Using OmniPage Pro with PageKeeper Standard 3.0

PageKeeper Standard 3.0 may have problems accepting Word 2000 and Excel 2000 file types directly from OmniPage Pro. If you save these file types from OmniPage Pro with the Add to PageKeeper option selected, and then immediately try to access the files in PageKeeper Standard, problem thumbnails (with a circle/slash) may appear in place of the documents. Or, the documents may not be added to PageKeeper Standard at all.

To avoid this, please follow this work-around solution:

1. Save the Word for Windows 97,2000 or Excel for Windows 97,2000 file from OmniPage Pro with the Add to PageKeeper option selected.

2. Open the saved file in Word or Excel.

3. Save the file again from Word or Excel.

4. Close the file.

5. Open PageKeeper Standard and look for the thumbnail representing the document.

The correct document thumbnails should now be in place.

 

---DESKSCAN II 2.8 ISSUES---

--Failing to restart cancels IE 5 installation

1. Install DeskScanII 2.8

2. Restart your computer as suggested.

During restart, a dialog box asks for the location of a driver file.

3. Specify the file location and restart your computer after this file is installed.

If you do not restart again, Internet Explorer 5.0 (required for OmniPage Pro Help functionality) will not get installed correctly.

 

---IMAGE EDITOR ISSUES---

--Problems getting edited graphics back into OmniPage Pro

An edited graphic cannot be brought back into OmniPage Pro if your image editor saves the graphic with different color type and size dimensions. Upon returning to OmniPage Pro, conflicts of this kind are indicated by a message that says the dimensions of the graphic have changed and cannot be saved.

To avoid conflicts, make sure your image editor is saving graphics with the same color type and size dimensions as they were originally in OmniPage Pro. Many image editors automatically change graphics to preset settings. However, some image editors allow you to change the settings when you save your graphic (usually through an option in the Save As dialog box). 

--Editing graphics using in-place activation

In-place activation is not supported in this version of OmniPage Pro. Instead, your image editor will be launched separately when you edit graphics directly from OmniPage Pro.

 

---SAVING AND LAUNCHING DOCUMENTS---

--Problems saving and launching multiple files

If you create one file per page when saving a document from OmniPage Pro, problems may occur when using the Save and Launch feature. Problems of this type may be indicated by an error message in your target application and an inability to open one or more of your saved files.

To avoid problems, do not use the Create one file per page and Save and Launch features together when saving documents from OmniPage Pro.

--Problems adding files to PageKeeper when saving and launching

If you have Add to PageKeeper selected when saving a document from OmniPage Pro, problems may occur when using the Save and Launch feature. Problems of this type may be indicated by an error message in PageKeeper and an inability to add your file to PageKeeper. 

To avoid problems, do not use the Add to PageKeeper and Save and Launch features together when saving documents from OmniPage Pro.

 

---GENERAL INFORMATION---

--Displaying the Euro correctly (Windows 95, Windows NT 3.51, and Windows 4.0)
