Viewing Items in PaperPort ®
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.
