RE: Home document management?

I also use PP and an hp 5550c.

My only quibble is the hp program that fires up when you hit scan, it
scans in colour millions of bits. I then have to load another profile
that converts the image into 1bit B&W. I can not get it to default to
B&W which is very annoying.......

Other than that I am impressed.

I scan everything as PDF and store in Paperport.  much to my wife's
annoyance I scan everything as it comes in and then shred it  "where's
that
latest Visa bill" is a common shout in our house!  I've only come a
cropper
once though when we had to open a new bank account and didn't have an
original recent utility bill!  :-)

I've found Paperport fast enough and it indexes everything - great for
finding telephone numbers in my Orange bills.  I also print online
statements to PDF and let PP index them.

I have an HP Scanjet 5550c scanner with ADF.  Incidentally I have a
spare
unused ADF if anyone's interested (and can find out which Scanjet models
it
fits).

Does anyone here employ document management at home i.e. scan in all
letters, bills etc etc and then have them stored on a home server or PC
for
later reference?

I was thinking about this after the 1.000th time of searching for that
important document buried in a stack of papers!

Cheers,

Paul.
