Getting to Know PaperPort 17
The Folders pane
The Folders pane presents a hierarchical view of your
PaperPort folders, similar to the view you see in
W
indows Explorer. Use the Folder Tools to access its
commands quickly.
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
nam
es – 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. This Getting Started Guide is placed in the
Samples folder as a read-only PDF file. We recommend you copy the item
and remove the read-only property from the copy if you want a text file
(PDF Normal) for experimentation.
Choose Folders
to view the Folders pane to view the pre-supplied
folders. Select a folder, right click and choose Create New folder to add an
em
pty subfolder with a name and color you choose. You can use the Folder
Manager to add existing folders and sub-folders from your file system.
This lets you set up a different view of folders than exists on your
computer – tailoring it to work you will do via PaperPort.
Choose
Folder Manager on the Tools ribbon or right click in the
Folders pane and choose Folder Manager. Click Add and browse to an
exi
sting folders or sub-folder. They are added as top-level folders to the
PaperPort desktop along with their sub-folders and content. For instance, if
you chose ‘C:\MyReports\Fourth Quarter’, this appears in PaperPort as
'Fourth Quarter on C'. To later see the full path of an added folder, right-
click and choose Properties.
Right-click on a folder to change folder color, add folder notes, create new
sub
-folders, and (in PaperPort Professional) set DesktopDelivery options.
