Viewing Items in ScanSoft™ PaperPort®
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.
