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 section 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 non paperport® 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

ScanSoftTM PaperPort® automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a “working link” to them.

The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications.

To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A typical use of the Send To Bar is to select an item and then fax it.

This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort® .

If PaperPort® does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can manually create a link using the Add to Send To Bar… command.

(See PaperPort® in the On-Line-Documentation on the CD-ROM for more information about creating new links.)
