Organizing your items in folders

2

PaperPort

®

 SE 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

®

 SE item or a non-

PaperPort

®

 SE 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

®

 SE MAX files and non PaperPort

®

 SE 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

 PaperPort

 SE 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

®

 SE.

If PaperPort

®

 SE 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

®

 SE in the Documents section on 

the CD-ROM for more information about creating new links.)
