Organizing your items in folders
2
PaperPort
®
9.0SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of folders and
items that you choose to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort
®
9.0SE item or a non-PaperPort
®
9.0SE item:
„ Folders are arranged in a ‘tree’ structure in the Folder View. You use this section to choose 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 contents (both PaperPort
®
9.0SE MAX files and non PaperPort
®
9.0SE
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

9.0SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your PC and creates a
‘working link’ to them.
The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons for those linked applications.
To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start that application. A typical use of the Send To Bar is
to choose an item and then fax it.
This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort
®
9.0SE.
If PaperPort ® 9.0SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually create a link
using the New Program Link... command. (See PaperPort
®
9.0SE in the Documentation folder on the CD-ROM for details.)

OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit

9.0SE can quickly convert the text on a ScanSoft
®
PaperPort
®
9.0SE item (which is
really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application.
PaperPort ® 9.0SE uses the optical character recognition application ScanSoft ® OmniPage ® OCR, which
comes with PaperPort
®
9.0SE.
PaperPort
®
9.0SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can convert the
entire item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can choose only a portion of the text to convert.
Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort
®
9.0SE’s built-in OCR application, or you
can use your own OCR application.
