Why save to OPD
You do not have to save your documents to the OPD file type. You would
typically do this for the following reasons:
 You cannot finish working with the document in the current session.
 You want to pass the document to other users who have OmniPage
SE or OmniPage Pro 11. For example, you can pass an OPD file to a
specialist for proofing. In an office network, you may have one
scanner generating images for recognition and proofing at several
workstations.
 You want to build up an archive of recognized documents whose
original images remain accessible. The recognized texts allow
searching by keywords and other document retrieval techniques.
How to save to OPD
If you intend to create an OPD, you can save it to this format at an early
stage, for protection. Use the Save button to save it periodically as you
work. Save it again at the end of your session.
The Save button saves the document to the name and file type of its last
save. You can save your document repeatedly to different formats. If your
first save was to another format (for instance .DOC), use the item Save
As... from the File menu to save it as an OPD. If a document is saved as
an OPD, then you later save it to another format, it is not automatically
resaved as an OPD. When you close the document or exit the program,
you will be prompted to save the document as an OPD.
Note Recognition results should be saved away from OPD files before
installing any OmniPage upgrade. These files may not be upwards
compatible to newer OPD file formats, or possibly only the images will
be retained when the files are upgraded.
