then helps you to manage them along with all other electronic documents in one

convenient and easy-to-use filing system.

PaperPort’s large, clear thumbnails allow you to visually organize, retrieve and use

your scanned documents. PaperPort’s editing tools ensure that scanned

documents will look great while the annotation tools let you add notes and

highlights to any scanned image.

8Getting to Know PaperPort

PaperPort items

The documents and photographs you acquire in PaperPort are called items.

There are two types of items: image items and text items.

Image items are scanned documents, photographs, and other digital items in an

image format, such as PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or PaperPort Image (.max).

You create image items from documents, photographs, line art, or other items

that you scan, copy, or bring in to the PaperPort desktop.

Text items are documents that contain editable text, such as Word (.doc),

HTML, and Excel files, and are created by word processing and other text-based

applications.

You can quickly send an item to another program without leaving the PaperPort

program. PaperPort supports a wide variety of programs including word

processing, spreadsheet, fax, Internet e-mail, graphics, optical character

recognition (OCR), and online services programs.

PaperPort includes a Samples folder containing items to demonstrate some of the

types of items you can keep on the PaperPort desktop.

The Folders pane

The Folders pane presents a hierarchical view of your PaperPort folders, similar

to the view you see in Windows Explorer.

PaperPort installs a PaperPort folder named My PaperPort Documents into your

My Documents folder. If you are using a multi-user system, each user has their

own My PaperPort Documents folder.

The My PaperPort Documents folder contains several subfolders whose names—

such as Articles, Business Cards, Photographs, and Receipts—illustrate the

different ways you can organize your items in PaperPort.

The Samples folder contains sample documents and photographs to help you get

started using PaperPort.

PaperPort Getting Started Guide 9

Although you cannot remove My PaperPort Documents from the Folders pane,

you can delete all subfolders whenever you prefer. When you have acquired your

own PaperPort items, you do not have to use the My PaperPort Document folder

to store them. You can add other local and network folders to PaperPort's Folder

View.

PaperPort thumbnails

One quick way to locate your PaperPort items is to visually browse through the

thumbnails on your PaperPort desktop. Each thumbnail is a small, graphic

representation of your document or photo. Thumbnails show you what’s in a

document without having to open it. In addition, thumbnails give you the ability

to scroll through the pages of the document without opening it.

PaperPort shows large, clear thumbnails of all your documents and photos,

including:

•Scanned pages and photos

•Photos from your digital camera

•Image files in many formats, such as BMP, TIFF, JPEG, and MAX

•PDF Image items

Text items have generic thumbnails displaying only the document type and item

name.

Each thumbnail appears with an icon that identifies the program in which it was

created or is currently associated. This makes it easy and convenient to quickly

see and find all different types of items on your computer.

Click on a thumbnail to see image attributes. A small icon indicates that the

Read-only attribute is set for that item. A small icon indicates that the image

has annotations. Multi-page image items show to let you scroll through the

pages.

To show or hide the Folders pane, click the Folders button on

the Command bar.

10 Getting to Know PaperPort

Before you can work with an item, you must first select its thumbnail on the

PaperPort desktop. A red line appears around an item to indicate that it is

selected. While working with thumbnails, you can

•Drag a thumbnail to reposition it on the PaperPort desktop.

•Drag a thumbnail to a folder to move the item to that folder.

•Double-click a thumbnail to view the item.

•Press the Ctrl key and double-click a thumbnail to open the item in its

source program.

•Right-click a thumbnail to display the item’s shortcut menu.

•Drag a thumbnail to the Send To bar to send a copy of the item to another

program.

Just as you can organize and arrange documents on your physical desktop, you

can quickly rearrange the items on the PaperPort desktop. For example, after

selecting a thumbnail, you can reposition it or rotate it.

Using thumbnails on the PaperPort desktop, you can also easily combine

individual PaperPort Image items or PDF Image items into multi-page items.

This feature is useful as an organizational tool if you are using a scanner that can

only scan a page as a separate item.
