Viewing Items
ScanSoft
™
PaperPort
®
provides several ways
to view items: Desktop View displays a
thumbnail, a small graphic that represents each
item in a Desktop or folder. Items in the
selected folder appear on the PaperPort
®
Desktop. You can see PaperPort
®
items
(MAX files) and non-PaperPort
®
items
(files created using other applications).
Non-PaperPort
®
items include an icon that
indicates the application that was used to create
the item; a non-PaperPort
®
item is represented
by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an
actual image.
Page View displays a close-up of a single
page and you can open a PaperPort
®
item by
double-clicking on it. As long as you have the
appropriate application on your computer to
display it, you can also double-click a non-
PaperPort
®
item to open it.
Organizing Your Items in Folders
PaperPort
®
has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of
folders and items that you select to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort
®
item or a
non-PaperPort
®
item:
■ Folders are arranged in a “tree” structure in the Folder View. You use this pane to select folders
and view their items in Desktop View.
■ You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the
mouse button and the item is stored in that folder.
■ Folders can be “nested”—that is, stored in other folders.
■ When you double-click a folder, its items (both PaperPort
®
MAX files and other files) appear
on the Desktop.
■ You can also use Windows
®
Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.
