Creating New Items

You can create a new, blank item, and then add annotations or copy and paste text or graphics onto it.

To create a new item

1From the File menu, choose New Item.

2A new, blank item appears. In Page View you can cut and paste items onto the new item.

Adding Graphics to Items

A picture or graphic can be added to an item. Use this feature to incorporate art from other applications.

To add a graphic

1Launch the application that contains the graphic and display the graphic.

2Copy the graphic to the Clipboard. The graphic cannot be larger than the page you’re pasting it to in the PaperPort software. If you think the graphic won’t fit on the page, try reducing its size within the application before copying it to the PaperPort software.

3Switch to the PaperPort software.

4Display the target item in Page View. If you paste the selected graphic in Desktop View, a new item is created containing the selected graphic.

5From the Edit menu, choose Paste. The graphic appears in the item at the upper-left corner of the page with a dotted outline around it.

N o t e

Do not click anywhere else on the page or on another tool until the

 

graphic is positioned exactly as you want it. If you click elsewhere on

 

the page or if you click on another tool, the graphic is deselected and

 

embedded in the page, and it cannot be moved. If the graphic is not

 

where you want it, choose Undo Paste or Undo All from the Edit

 

menu.

 

 

6To move the graphic, place the pointer within the dotted outline. The pointer changes to a hand.

7Drag the graphic to the new location.

8When the graphic is positioned where you want it, click elsewhere on the page. The graphic is now embedded in the item.
