Converter Options
Each converter option dialog box lists the saving options and their settings for the current converter. The title bar of the dialog box displays the converter name. Converter-specific settings for each available converter can be changed by the user. Check the formatting level and change it if necessary before you choose other settings, because this determines which choices are available.
A converter option dialog box can be called
-
at saving time by clicking Options... in a saving dialog box, or
-
from the Tools menu by clicking Saving Preferences…, then selecting a converter and clicking Options… in the dialog box that appears.
File options: Specify whether recognition results should be stored in one file or in a set of files. In the latter cases, numerical suffixes are added to the file name to generate unique files.
Formatting level: This displays the formatting level currently associated with the chosen file type. Set this first because your choice determines which other settings are available. The formatting levels on offer may vary, depending on the file type you choose. Your choice becomes the preference for the current file type. It is not influenced by changes to the formatting level in the Text Editor.
Options panel: This panel lists the saving options and their settings for the current converter.
When called from the Saving Preferences dialog box options are presented by radio buttons, checkboxes or drop-down lists.
