In 1997, Monticello Corporation, the makers of The Paper Tiger,
developed software (based on Barbara Hemphill's books: Taming
the Paper Tiger at Home and Taming the Paper Tiger at Work)
that would provide users Internet-like access to the information
stored in their file cabinets. Think Google
and that’s what The Paper Tiger does for you. It works like
an Internet search engine, except it searches your paper documents.
The average person spends
as much as one hour a day looking for information. What does this
say about both the volume of information we face each day, and
the reliability of our filing systems? The paperless office never
quite made it to our offices! Thanks to the growth explosion of
the personal computer, most people are literally drowning in paper.
First, it gives a home for your papers
so that you can work and live in an uncluttered environment. Second,
it allows you to retrieve information when you need it. Information
may be power, but only if you can access it!
So how is your filing system working? Can you find what you’ve
filed in 5 seconds? Want to spend less time shuffling paper and
more time doing what you love?
Although technology has changed the way we manage information,
it has not changed the way most of us manage paper. If you are
using the same kind of filing system that George Washington used
(most people are), read on to learn how technology can assist
you.
Kiplinger's Taming the Paper Tiger allows you to keep your essential
documents in paper form in your filing cabinet, automatically
cross-reference the information, and use the search power of your
computer to find anything in your files in five seconds or less
-- regardless of who filed it. You can now index and store documents
so mountains of paperwork are instantly retrievable from file
cabinets.
To file a document, enter any number of key words you associate
with the document into the Paper Tiger database. When you want
to retrieve it, simply enter a key word and the program's powerful
search engine finds the information instantly. The actual files
are numbered and stored in numerical order. Once the number of
the file you are looking for is identified, you are able to retrieve
the paper file in seconds.
The Paper Tiger can also be used to locate books, binders, cassette
tapes, CDs, videos, and other items -- anything you can put a
number on!
• Find files instantly: 5 seconds--guaranteed!
• Eliminate piles
• Cross reference
• Expand files with ease
• Share information effectively
• Respond quickly

Recently I had to plan for a sub from home. I was really happy
to be able to tell her exactly where to find
the lesson details.

I am thrilled to see the wood surface of my
desk again. I now have the confidence to locate anything I need.
It's fun to do a Fast Find and quickly pull the file. I know where
to put new documents as they come in and how to retrieve them
later. It definitely is about time: I finish my work much faster;
my job just got easier thanks to your help with The Paper Tiger.
