Filling Out Scanned Forms
FormTyper
is a PaperPort program that enables you to fill in forms, such as
insurance forms, registration cards, and medical forms, that you scan to the
Desktop.
You simply drag a form from the Desktop to the FormTyper program on the Send
To bar. FormTyper automatically analyzes the form, recognizes the blank areas in
which data can be entered, and creates blank fields for the data. So that you can
easily see where to enter data, FormTyper underlines each field in color (Figure 30).

The PaperPort FormTyper Window
You can quickly reposition fields, insert new fields, and remove fields as necessary.
After you enter data and complete the form, save the form to the Desktop so that
you can print or e-mail the form in its entirety with its completed data.
