Viewing items
ScanSoft® PaperPort® SE gives several ways to view items:
Desktop View displays the item in the chosen folder with a thumbnail (a small graphic that shows each item in a desktop or folder) or an icon.
You can see both PaperPort® SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort® SE items (files created using other applications).
Non-PaperPort® SE items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item.
Page View displays a close-up of a single page. You can open a PaperPort® SE item by double-clicking its icon or thumbnail in Desktop View.
As long as you have the proper application on your PC to display it, you can also open a non-PaperPort® SE item with an appropriate application by double-clicking.
