IEW ITEMS IN A VARIETY OF WAYS
Visual Explorer provides several ways to view items: Desktop View
displays a
thumbnail , a small graphic that represents each item in a
folder. The thumbnails represent PaperPort items (PaperPort MAX files)
—the format in which Visual Explorer saves items. The thumbnails also
represent non-PaperPort items—items created using another
application, such as Microsoft Word. Both types of items appear; no
extra steps are necessary to see non-PaperPort items.
Page View displays
a close-up of a single page. You can view both PaperPort items and non-
PaperPort items in Page View. Desktop View and Page View are separate
applications that you can run independently or at the same time. You
can also display a non-PaperPort item in the application that created it.
Desktop View displays
items as thumbnails.
Page View displays each
item as a full page.
