● Enable compatibility with Microsoft Word 95
This option allows the recognition results to be saved in Microsoft Word 95.
Note: When saving in Microsoft Word 95, only the BMP image format is available for saving pictures.
● Enable ABBYY FineReader's Zoom window in Microsoft Word 2003
This option enables displaying ABBYY FineReader's Zoom window in Microsoft Word 2003. When saving results
in Word XML, the recognized image can be viewed in the Zoom window integrated into Microsoft Word. This
window presents the magnified image of the current line or portion of the document.
Picture Settings
If you wish to keep pictures in the recognized text, make sure that the Keep pictures option is set in the Picture settings group.
If the recognized document contains many pictures, you can reduce the size of the resulting file: select the desired picture quality and
format in the Picture settings group.
Quality
Three quality levels are available in the Quality drop–down list. Select:
● High if you are planning to print the recognition results.
● Medium if the recognition results are intended for viewing on the screen.
● Low if you are planning to place the recognition results on the Web.
The higher the value you choose from the Quality drop–down list, the higher will be the quality of the pictures you save. The size of
the file is also affected by this value: the higher the value, the larger the file you get.
Tip. In order to tune the best 'size/quality' ratio, try to save the recognition results with different Quality values, and then open them
in an image viewing application.
Format
As a rule, ABBYY FineReader selects the picture format automatically. To ensure that this is the case, make sure that the (Automatic)
