point A typographic unit of measurement equal to 1/72 inch, measured
vertically. Points are used to describe font size.
prefill element A character used as a separator in a comb element. The
default prefill character is a hyphen (-), often used in phone numbers.
processor The integrated circuit chip component within the computer
that directly executes instructions. Sometimes referred to as the CPU
(Central Processing Unit) or microprocessor.
prompt A message on the screen that tells you of some need for
response or action. A prompt usually takes the form of a symbol, a
message, a dialog box, or a menu of choices.
random-access memory (RAM) Memory in which information can be
referred to in an arbitrary or random order. Generally, the work space
within the computer, temporary in nature, is sustained only while the
power is on.
read-only memory (ROM) Memory in which information can be read
but not changed. Information is placed into read-only memory once
during manufacture; it remains there as part of the computer’s
permanent instruction set even when the computer’s power is turned
off.
read/write access The ability to display and make changes to a
designated file.
recalculate To reapply new or changed calculations to all selected
records in a database.
recognition The process of using converting a paper form into an
editable electronic form. See
Logical Form Recognition
and
Optical
Character Recognition
.
record In OmniForm, a collection of all the information on a form.
Whenever you import or open a new form and fill it in, you have a new
database that consists of one record. You can create a new, blank
record using the first form as a template. The record looks exactly like
the first record, but it can be filled with different information.
redesign To edit a form in design view. You can create, delete, convert,
reposition, and resize objects, among other features.
resolution The fineness with which a scanner, printer, or other device
stores or prints information. It is expressed in dots per inch (dpi). A 300
dpi printer can place up to 300 dots in a one-inch line.
