This guide shows you how to use some of the PaperPort and PaperPort
Deluxe software features to view items, create stacks, send items
electronically to PaperPort Links, add annotations, file items in folders,
capture Web pages (PaperPort Deluxe only), and edit color images. The

However, in most cases, these examples are similar to what you see if
you are using the basic PaperPort software.

IEWING ITEMS IN DESKTOP VIEW
PaperPort provides several ways to view items:
thumbnail
You can see PaperPort items (max files) and non-PaperPort items
(items created using other applications, such as Microsoft Word).
With PaperPort Deluxe, the thumbnails of both PaperPort and nonPaperPort items show actual images of the items. Non-PaperPort items
also include an icon which indicates the application used to create the
item. With basic PaperPort, a non-PaperPort item is represented by a
small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.
To view items in Desktop View:
•
Double-click the PaperPort icon on the Windows desktop. This
opens PaperPort, and displays its Desktop View:
, a small graphic that represents each item in a folder.
