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!
