PaperPort items The documents and photographs you acquire in PaperPort are called items. There are two types of items: image items and text items. Image items are scanned documents, photographs, and other digital items in an image format, such as PDF, JPEG, TIFF, or PaperPort Image (.max). You create image items from documents, photographs, line art, or other items that you scan, copy, or bring in to the PaperPort desktop. Text items are documents that contain editable text, such as Word (.doc), HTML, and Excel files, and are created by word processing and other text-based applications. You can quickly send an item to another program without leaving the PaperPort program. PaperPort supports a wide variety of programs including word processing, spreadsheet, fax, Internet e-mail, graphics, optical character recognition (OCR), and online services programs. PaperPort includes a Samples folder containing items to demonstrate some of the types of items you can keep on the PaperPort desktop. The Folders pane The Folders pane presents a hierarchical view of your PaperPort folders, similar to the view you see in Windows Explorer. 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 names- 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. 8 Getting to Know PaperPort
