NUANCE OMNIPAGE PRO 6 - REFERENCE MANUAL FOR WINDOWS Reference Manual page 123

OmniPage uses the selected Zones option in the Settings Panel when
zoning: Multiple Columns, Single Column or Table, or One Zone. For more
information about each of these options, see "Zones Options" on page 163.
You are prompted to delete the current zones before auto zoning if a page
already has zones. Click Yes to proceed.
Each zone has a number indicating its recognition order. Use the
automatic zone tools to reorder or deselect zones.
Reordering Zones
Zone order determines the order in which text is recognized and
positioned on your recognized document. You can reorder zones on a
zoned page.
1 Click the Order Zones tool.
The zone numbers disappear.
2 Click in a zone.
The number 1 appears in the zone. It will be recognized first.
3 Click in another zone.
The number 2 appears in the zone. It will be recognized second.
4 Continue until all the zones are in proper recognition order, and
then choose the appropriate OCR command.
OmniPage numbers the zones in successive order if you do not reassign
numbers to them.
Deselecting Zones

the page will not be recognized during OCR.
