provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a thumbnail, a small
graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder. Items in the selected folder appear on the
PaperPort

Desktop. You can see PaperPort
®
items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort
®
items (files
created using other applications).
Non-PaperPort

items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item;
a non-PaperPort

item is represented by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.

clicking on it. As long as you have the appropriate application on your computer to display it, you
can also double-click a non-PaperPort
®
item to open it.
