About the PaperPort desktop
The PaperPort desktop has two parts. On the left-hand side you will find the Function Pane. On the Desktop ribbon, choose the appropriate button from the Function Pane group to display one of the following panels:
-
Folders
-
Scan Settings
-
Thumbnail
-
All-in-One Search
-
Properties
The right-hand side is your Workspace for document management. The PaperPort desktop appears with the Folders pane when you first start the program. It displays your documents, as well as the buttons you can use to manage them. PaperPort offers all the tools necessary to organize, find, and use documents and images.
The default color scheme for the Desktop and panels is aqua. Choose Options in the Desktop ribbon and go to the Desktop panel to choose other color schemes for different screen elements.
In PaperPort Professional, the desktop can be split into two Workspaces – top and bottom. This layout gives you a better oversight for organizing and combining your documents more effectively even in a cross-folder fashion.
To split the desktop, click the Split Desktop button on the Desktop ribbon.
Right-click the active Workspace or use the Change View button to change the way of viewing. If you work with documents containing multiple pages, you can use the corresponding function pane to view page thumbnails without having to open the given document. You can also use these desktop areas to view your folders, or the properties of the selected item.
To remove the desktop split, click the Split Desktop button again.
You can bookmark the Workspaces of your choice by using the Bookmark Workspace command from the Desktop ribbon. To manage them, use the Organize Bookmarks command. Getting to a frequently used Workspace is just a mouseclick away, since they are all displayed in a single dialog box.
