Viewing Items in ScanSoft™

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.
