Getting 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. Just drag an item onto the link icon in the Send To bar at the bottom of
the desktop. 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
My PaperPort Documents
folder containing items to
demonstrate some of the types of items you can keep on the PaperPort desktop.
You can also use PaperPort to view non-PaperPort items that reside on your
computer. Simply copy or move the document file or photo into a PaperPort
folder.
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.
