location, and a thumbnail representing the item appears in the

UPLICATING
ITEMS
Another way to file an item in multiple locations is to create a duplicate
of an item in Desktop View. You can duplicate both PaperPort and
non-PaperPort items. You can also use the Duplicate as PaperPort Item
command to create a converted copy of a non-PaperPort item.
For example, you can duplicate a Word file to create a copy of the Word
file, or duplicate the Word file as a PaperPort item to convert the Word
file to the PaperPort format.
After you convert a non-PaperPort item to PaperPort, you can take
advantage of other features available only to PaperPort items, such as the
annotation tools and the ability to create stacks.
To create a duplicate of an item:
1. On the Desktop, select the item.
2. From the Desktop menu, choose Duplicate Item. The duplicated
item appears on the Desktop, with the title, Copy title.
To duplicate an item as a PaperPort item:
1. On the Desktop, right-click the non-PaperPort item, such as a
Word document. A short-cut menu appears.
2. Choose Duplicate as PaperPort Item.
Note: You can also create shortcuts for items by using Windows
Explorer.
