When working with Remark Office OMR, use care when selecting Region Names, Question Names and Labels as there are several reserved characters that cannot be used as they could cause problems when exporting data to certain formats.
If you plan to export your data to a specific format and aren’t certain if any limitations apply, the Remark Office OMR User’s Guide includes a short list of limitations for various file types. For a complete list or better understanding of limitations, check the user’s documentation for the specific program to which you wish to export your data.
