Project 19: Digitize Your Paper Documents 209
Step 3: Organize Your Scanned Documents
As you??™ve seen, scanning is easy. The tricky part is keeping your scanned documents
in order so that you know where to find them when you need them. The following
sections discuss several methods for doing so. Briefly, the methods are as follows:
Tag the individual picture files in Windows, and then use Windows??™ search
features to search for the ones you need. This solution is adequate if you scan
few documents or if you??™re blessed with plenty of patience.
You can also organize your documents into an elaborate system of folders, but this doesn??™t work
so well when you have documents that fit into multiple categories. To make it easier to find the
files you need, you can create shortcuts to a file that belongs to multiple categories, and then
place those shortcuts in other folders.

in the left pane, Microsoft Office Document Imaging normally
selects this option button automatically. If you haven??™t selected
pages, this option button is unavailable.
