[duxuser] Re: WORKING WITH OMNI PAGE
OmniPage 15 is accessible with Window-Eyes and presumably with other screen readers. However, I am finding that it is often more productive to let OmniPage set itself up in the file menus of Word, WordPerfect or another program. Then you launch it from Word, for example, and do your clean-up in Word.

Is omnipage accessible?

George, barely sighted <grin> but the people who will do the scanning are sight and I think that the help I got from everybody this morning will make their job easier. 
Thanks again,

No problem there Judi. If you are sighted, you can use Word's "Format Painter" to apply Headings which can make the job a lot quicker.

Thanks to Ray and Morgan,
One more question. Why can't I use the NORMAL STYLE for the full Word document and add h1 and h2 codes as needed? These are important to me to be able to generate a Table of Contents. 
Thanks again.
Judi

You can make the entire Word document normal if you want. I generally do not because I want to use the heading 1 and heading 2 styles, which get imported into Duxbury at h1 and h2, respectively. If you aren't worried about these, just select the whole document and click "normal" in that little drop down box (it should be on your toolbar - if not, choose "Format >> Styles and Formatting?").
If you do want to preserve heading 1 and heading 2 styles (which may or may not have been recognized by omnipage) you will have to scroll through the document to one of the paragraphs that is importing into Duxbury as b-bodytext. Look to see what style it is, then do a find ? replace command to replace every single character in that style with the same character in the normal style (after saving a backup copy, of course). To do this, press Ctrl+h, type (*) in the "Find what" box and \1 in the "Replace with" box. Press the "More >>" button. Check the "Use wildcards" box. Then click inside the "Find what" box, choose "Format > Style?" and choose the style that is importing incorrectly into Duxbury. Then click inside the "Replace with" box, choose "Format > Style?" and choose normal. Hit "Replace All" and give the computer a moment or two to replace every character. 

Good luck!  I hope I explained this well.

Morgan

Can I make the entire Word document NORMAL or is this a style that needs to be inserted before each paragraph? And yes please, tell me how. I know DTB but can get really lost in Word. 
Many thanks

This probably has to do with styles within Word. Make sure all paragraph text is in the normal style (you can choose style in the drop-down that lets you choose Heading 1, Heading 2, Clear Formatting, etc). You may have to do a find/replace to replace * of whatever style is making the b-bodytext with the found text in the normal style. Let me know if you need details about how to do this.

A volunteer group is going to do some scanning for the library and they will be using Omni Page. The software has been set-up and I've put a few of the files through DBT 10.6. I'm noticing that the paragraphs are not always indented correctly. I do realize that the braille document will only be as good as the cleaned-up scan. Files that I've worked with either have a <para> code or a <b-bodytext.> Is there a difference and what should be done in the Word document to insure that paragraphing works correctly. I would assume that the >para> code works best? I'd like to get the group started in the right direction. 
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
