ScanSoft™ PaperPort™ 11SE 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™ 11SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort™ 11SE items (files created using other applications).
Non-PaperPort™ 11SE items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item; a non-PaperPort™ 11SE item is indicated by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.
Page Thumbnails displays a close-up of a single page. You can open a PaperPort™ 11SE item by double-clicking its icon or the thumbnail in Desktop View.
As long as you have the appropriate application on your PC to display it, you can also open a non-PaperPort™ SE item by double-clicking.
