10 CHAPTER 1: WELCOME TO THE PAPERPORT SOFTWARE
Table
of Contents
Folders are arranged in a “tree” structure. The tree arrangement is
similar to the one in Windows Explorer.
Scanned items are stored in folders. You can simply drag and drop the
item onto the 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. The plus symbol
(+) shows the folder contains other folders. The minus symbol (-)
shows that the other folders are visible.
USE SIMPLESEARCH TO FIND AN ITEM
The PaperPort software has a wide range of options for finding scanned
items. In addition to the standard methods of searching for items by
name, date, or keywords, a powerful PaperPort feature named
SimpleSearch can find items based on the textual content.
For example, if you only remember that the item included the word
scanner” or the phrase “elegant scanning,” SimpleSearch can find the
item containing that word or phrase for you. SimpleSearch finds items
this way because it actually reads all of your scanned items and
remembers the textual content. You simply enter a word or phrase, and
SimpleSearch finds the item(s) that have it. The following sample shows
the dialog box set to find the phrase “elegant scanning” in your scanned
items.
