The OmniPage Desktop and Views
OmniPage comes with three different views to suit your task.
• Classic View - This view has a similar look and feel to previous versions of
OmniPage.
• Flexible View - This view provides an alternate layout of the OmniPage function
panels stacked in a tabbed view to give each panel more space.
• Quick Convert View - This view is designed for quick and easy document conversion
without having to learn a lot. The most important conversion options are clearly
visible on one screen.
Use the Window menu to switch between views and to save your own custom view (see later).
On starting a new session you receive the view and screen arrangement that was in force
when the program was last closed.
All three views can be reset to default values using ‘Reset Current View’ in the Windows
menu.
Program Panels
OmniPage has a set of panels that can be docked (tabbed or tiled), floated, resized, minimized
and restored separately. These include: Thumbnails, Page Image, Text Editor, Document
Manager, Easy Loader, Workflow Status, and Help. To float a panel double-click its title bar
or tab. To restore the floating panel to its previous docked position, double-click its title bar.
To dock it to a new location, drag it to that location. A colored rectangle shows the docking
position - release the mouse button to dock it. To see all possible docking positions one after
the other (tiles and tabs), drag the panel over the OmniPage main window, holding down the
left mouse button and pressing the spacebar repeatedly. When the desired location is indicated
by coloring, release the mouse button. To move a floating panel without docking displays,
keep CTRL pushed while dragging.
Classic View
In Classic View, the default OmniPage Desktop has four main tiled working areas, separated
by splitters: the Document Manager, the Page Image, Thumbnails and the Text Editor. The
Page Image has an Image toolbar and the Text Editor has a Formatting toolbar.
