Using Drag And Drop - Visioneer PAPERPORT 5.0 SOFTWARE FOR MACINTOSH User Manual

8: Importing, Saving, and Deleting Items

The Import command does not convert all types of files from other
applications. For example, you cannot open a text or ASCII file.
However, by using drag and drop, you can place any type of file onto the
PaperPort Desktop.
TIP: You can also print an unsupported file format to the PaperPort
Desktop. For more information, see "Printing from Other
Applications," later in this chapter.

You can take an item created in another application, such as a
word processing, spreadsheet, graphics, or paint application, and drag and
drop it onto the PaperPort Desktop.
For example, you may have a standard memo that you attach to a
contract whenever you send that contract using your electronic fax
software. Drag the memo file onto the PaperPort Desktop to create a copy
of the item as a PaperPort item. Then stack the PaperPort memo onto the
scanned contract. You now have the memo and contract in one PaperPort
item that you can send.
To drag and drop an item onto the PaperPort Desktop:
1. If you started the PaperPort Desktop application, drag and drop the
item from the Macintosh desktop onto the PaperPort Desktop. If the
PaperPort Desktop is not active, drag and drop the item onto the
PaperPort Desktop link icon in the Link Bar.
A message appears, asking if you want to convert the item. (This
message appears only if the option "Ask User Before Converting
Files" is selected in the PaperPort Desktop Preferences dialog box.)
2. Click OK to begin converting the item. A progress gauge is displayed
as each page is converted. After the file is converted, a new untitled
item appears on the PaperPort Desktop.
