to a storage device. Work not saved disappears when you turn off the
computer or when the power is interrupted.

as a part of Logical Form Recognition and places them in a logical
order on the form. If you scanned in an blank form, for example,
OmniForm would recognize a
Customer
field to be a fill text field. It
would automatically assign the name
Customer
to this field.

creation order. You might, for example, sort invoices by an Amount
Owed field to facilitate billing.

after insertion in a form.

basic file operations such as saving and printing, and defining and
formatting objects.
In fill view, the toolbar that contains buttons for basic file operation
such as saving and printing, and for moving through records in a
database.
system software Software required for the proper operation of a
computer system; it supports application programs by managing
system resources such as memory and
input/output (I/0) devices.
