Filing items into folders helps you keep your PaperPort Desktop
organized, but you need to also be able to quickly locate those items.
To search for items, use the Find Document command. With Find
Document, you search for items by using different information called
search criteria. You can search for an item by its filename, location,
annotation text, and date modified. You can use one criterion or several
criteria to help you find the item. For example, you can search for all files
named Tax Laws that were modified between January 1, 1997 and
June 1, 1997. At least one criterion must be met before a file is found.
To help ensure that an item is even easier to find at a later date, you can
add information in the Get Info dialog box associated with an item. This
data can include keywords, comments, or an author's name. For example,
you may want to add keywords or comments that describe the content of
the item, such as new laws for 1997, competitor's products, or health
insurance information.
