Introduction

Using PaperPort in the office

Here are two scenarios that show ways PaperPort can help you manage the

mountains of paper connected with your business.

Collect data from remote offices for everyone to share

You work for an agency charged with collecting legal paperwork from all across

the country. Each local office scans in the paperwork from a case and stores it

in an individual folder, adding notations as needed.

When information from a case needs to be shared or reviewed, the local office

selects the information, then faxes it to the central office.

Keep track of your expenses

Using PaperPort with a scanner you can scan in all your business-related

receipts and store them in folders by date and/or type (meals, airfare, gas, and

mileage). At the end of the month pull it all together, transfer the information

onto the electronic version of your expense sheet, and e-mail it to the

accounting department!

Using PaperPort at home

Everyone from hobbyists to home-office professionals can rely on PaperPort to

help manage their photographs and documents. Here are two of the ways PaperPort

can help you.

Store and share all your photographs

Collect all your photographs into virtual albums by storing them in PaperPort

folders. Scan printed photos and download digital images. Once in PaperPort

you can edit the images and move them around into different folders for later

viewing. PaperPort helps you share your photos with friends and family by

making it easy to attach them to e-mail messages.

Scan magazine and newspaper articles of interest for easy access

Whether your passion is cooking, wooden boat building, photography or

knitting, PaperPort makes your life easier. Scan your favorite magazine and

journal articles into a PaperPort folder. Months later, when you are in the

middle of a project and remember reading an article that contained just the

information you need, use PaperPort's SimpleSearch tool to find the article in

question quickly, even if you can't remember the title!
