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

ScanSoft

®

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 Documentation section on the CD-ROM for

more information about creating new links.)
