[. . . ] For example, you can create a new folder, retitle a folder, and drag and drop items into different folders. You can also drag folders and items from Windows Explorer directly to Desktop View. 3. If Desktop View is currently active, refresh the information by choosing Refresh from the View menu. The changes you make in Windows Explorer are directly reflected in Desktop View. If you don't choose Refresh now, Desktop View is updated the next time SimpleSearch indexes information. USING SIMPLESEARCH TO FIND AN ITEM 39 USING SIMPLESEARCH TO FIND AN ITEM SimpleSearch helps you find items. SimpleSearch searches all the items--both PaperPort items and items created using other applications--that are in a folder listed in Folder View. For example, if you recall the item's title or keywords, you can find the item based on that information. However, SimpleSearch also reads the entire text content of each item and can find items based on any words and phrases in the content. To use this powerful search feature, make sure that the Content check box is selected in the Find Item dialog box. Select one or more check boxes to identify where to search for the text. Select the buttons to find just the first, or all items that have that text. Click Find. 40 CHAPTER 3: FILING ITEMS In the SimpleSearch dialog box, you can: · Click the Options tab to display several options for using SimpleSearch, including whether you want SimpleSearch to match the exact phrase you're looking for or to find text that closely matches. You can also indicate whether you want to search all folders, the current folder, or the current folder and its subfolders. · Click the Update SimpleSearch button to read any items that haven't been read yet. This adds the items' text to the SimpleSearch database (which is similar to the index of this guide). Right-click an item, and then choose Add to SimpleSearch from the shortcut menu. This is particularly useful when you've added a number of items and filed them in a new folder. Right-click the folder and SimpleSearch begins adding the items' content to the SimpleSearch database. Note: SimpleSearch works in the background, which means that it periodically indexes items' textual content even while you're working on other tasks. For more information about SimpleSearch and using Summary Information in a search, see the Help. CHAPTER 4 Stacking PaperPort Items Like many other busy people, you might sometimes put items on your desk without organizing them. When you finally do put them in order, you might stack the items by project, contact, or department. With Visual Explorer you can electronically organize PaperPort items into stacks in much the same way that you do with paper documents. Expense reports, contracts, memos, letters, presentations, and other business materials are often two or more pages. You cannot stack non-PaperPort items, such as Word or Excel thumbnails that appear in Desktop View. This chapter tells you about: · Combining items into stacks · Giving titles to items and stacks · Moving between stacked pages · Unstacking items · Tiling items 41 42 CHAPTER 4: STACKING PAPERPORT ITEMS COMBINING ITEMS INTO STACKS To stack pages, you can: · Drag one page on top of the other · Click the Stack button on the Command Bar · Use the stack commands in the Desktop menu You can also add stacks to other stacks. [. . . ] Note: If you don't type a name for the file, the item's title is used. Note: PaperPort items exported as BMP or TIFF files can be as much as 10 times larger than the original PaperPort items. If you have an application that compresses files, you might want to compress the exported files before saving them on a floppy disk. EXPORTING WITH COMPRESSION When you export color and grayscale images, the files can become large and occupy large amounts of hard disk space. To overcome this problem, Visual Explorer has a built-in compression feature that uses the JPEG file format to compress files. [. . . ]
