| 58058 | 2002-06-28 11:46:00 | Below is the istructions courtesy Maryland Uni (just search for "max files" on Google) BUT- Looks like its part of Netscape? I wouldnt do it, you may have a hell of a job to extricate it! MAX files In order to view max files you need to download the free Visioneer PaperPort Viewer from Visioneer.com or from the Archives To install PaperPort Viewer in Netscape: Click on the setupex.exe to install the PaperPort viewer. When PaperPort is installed, open Netscape and 1. go to Edit menu and Preferences 2. click on the + next to Navigator 3. click on Applications 4. scroll down list to PaperPort Viewer and highlight 5. click Edit button 6. be sure that the "Application window" has the path statement for the viewer executable followed by a %1 (e.g., c:\ppviewer\ppviewer.exe %1). 7. click OK twice and you are ready to use the viewer. If the PaperPort Viewer does not appear on the list of applications you will need to add it. Follow steps 1, 2, 3, above. 4. click on "New Type" button 5. "Description of type: = application" 6. "File extension = max" 7. "MIME type = application" 8. "Application to Use: - click on Browse and go to the directory where you installed the viewer; usually c:\ppviewer and highlight the ppviewer.exe and click on "Open" . Be sure to add the %1 as in step 7. above. 9. click OK twice and you are ready to use the viewer. |

| 58060 | 2002-06-29 00:15:00 | Max files are Paperport's native file storage format and are if you don't have the Paperport program they can be read and/or printed with the Paperport viewer which can be downloaded free. Just do an internet search for paperport viewer. It is a small file and doesn't take long to download and install. If your correspondent is using Paperport to manage images, they can be exported in a variety of file formats including jpg but have to be exported to an external directory or folder. This is very simple and easy to do. All they have to do is click once on the image on the Paperport desktop, select file>export, choose jpg as the export file type, name the file, select the destination folder then click OK. Attaching to emails follows the familiar practices. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
