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.
