Proofing and Editing On-the-Fly Editing 53
On-the-Fly Editing
This allows you to modify a recognized page through re-zoning, without having to re-process
the whole page. When on-the-fly editing is enabled, zone changes (deleting, drawing,
resizing, changing type) immediately make changes in the recognized page. Conversely, when
you modify elements in the Text Editors True Page formatting level, this changes the zones
on that page.
Two linked tools on the Image toolbar control on-the-fly zoning. One of these tools is always
active whenever no recognition is in progress.
Click this to activate on-the-fly editing. The red signal shows there are no stored zoning
changes.
Click this to turn on-the-fly editing off. Your zoning changes are stored; the on-the-fly tool
displays a green signal to show there are stored changes. To activate these changes, do one
of the following:
Click the on-the-fly tool with a green signal. The zoning changes will cause changes in
the Text Editor.
Click the Perform OCR button to have the whole page (re)recognized, including your
zone changes.
For details on how changes are handled in on-the-fly zoning and their
effects in the Text Editor,

On-the-fly processing
in Help.
Marking and Redacting
The Mark Text toolbar gives you tools to mark (highlight or strike-out);
and to redact text. Use the View menu to have this toolbar displayed. Y
ou
can float or dock this tool group. Each tool has its equivalent menu item in
the Format menu or the Text Editor shortcut menu.
Redacting is blacking out confidential information. It is unreadable and
unsearchable. T
o mark and redact text manually, click the Mark for
Redacting tool and use its cursor to select all the text parts you want to redact. They appear
with a gray highlight. When you are ready, click the Redact Document tool. Choose to do
redaction in a copy (safer) or the original document. If you choose to redact a copy, both the
copy and the original remain open in OmniPage, ready to be saved.
WARNING: If you redact the original document, you cannot retrieve the information you
have blacked out.
