Viewing Items in ScanSoft™ PaperPort ® for Brother
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.
