How OmniForm Uses Language Selections
The Current Form language selection affects:
• The formatting of currency, number, and date entries in the
currently open form.
• Which dictionary is used for spell checking. (The International
English version contains all available dictionaries. Other users
can call 800-654-1187 to order additional dictionaries.)
• The international symbol that appears in the status bar when a
form is currently open.
The New Form language selection affects:
• The formatting of currency, number, and date entries in new
forms you create by scanning or importing, or by choosing New
in the File menu.
• The international symbol that appears in the status bar when a
form is not open.
Control Panel Selections
Selections made in the International tab do not affect selections made in
the Regional Settings control panel.
Only the List Separator option in these control panels affects how data is
displayed in OmniForm.
The Options Dialog Box Readouts
Below the Language selection, OmniForm displays readouts: the
international symbol for the selected language (which appears in the
status bar); and currency, number, and date conventions specific to that
language.
The readouts show:
• How OmniForm expects data to be entered in fill view.
• How OmniForm will format data in fill view if it is not entered
correctly. (Formatting takes place after you move the cursor out
of a field.) See the next section for formatting examples.
Formatting Examples
Currency
If you select German (Austrian) as the Current Form language, the
numbers 123456 entered in an appropriately defined currency field
would display as öS 1.234,56.
If you select German (Liechtenstein) as the Current Form language, the
numbers would display as CHF 1'234.56.
