Organizing your items in folders 2
PaperPort™ 11SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of
folders and items that you choose to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort™ 11SE item or a
non-PaperPort™ 11SE item:
Folders are arranged in a ‘tree’ structure in the Folder View. You use this section to choose 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 contents (both PaperPort™ 11SE MAX files and non PaperPort™
11SE files) appear on the Desktop.
You can also use Windows
®
Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.
Quick links to other applications 2
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your PC and creates a
‘working link’ to them.
The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons for those linked applications.
To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start that application. A typical use of the Send To Bar is
to choose an item and then fax it.
This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort™ 11SE.
If PaperPort™ 11SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually
create a link using the New Program Link command.
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE with OCR lets you convert image text into text
you can edit 2
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE can quickly convert the text on a ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE item (which
is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application.
PaperPort™ 11SE uses the optical character recognition software (OCR), which comes with PaperPort™
11SE.
PaperPort™ 11SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can convert the
entire item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can choose only a portion of the text to convert.
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort™ 11SE’s built-in OCR application, or you
can use your own OCR application.
