To import a file created in another application:
1. On the PaperPort Desktop, choose Import from the File menu.
A directory dialog box appears. Only folders or files saved in one of the
previously described formats appear.
TIP: If you have a Windows file without the appropriate extension,
such as .TIF for a TIFF file, the file does not appear in the dialog box.
Add the three-character extension (such as .MAX, .PCT, or .TIF) to
the file so that it is listed in the directory dialog box.
2. Select the file that you want to import and click Open, or double-click
the filename. A new untitled item appears on the PaperPort Desktop.

You can use the Open command in the Page Viewer to open PaperPort
items and items saved in one of the formats described in "Importing an
Item,"previously in this chapter.
To open an item:
1. In the Page Viewer, choose Open from the File menu. A directory
dialog box appears.
2. Double-click the file you want to open. If the file is a PaperPort item,
it appears in the Page Viewer. If the file is saved in a supported
format, the PaperPort software converts the item to a PaperPort item
and it appears in the Page Viewer. A progress gauge appears as the file
is converted.
