To select a document library:

Click the Attached Documents Library dropdown to choose or create a folder on your Mac where all your QuickBooks attached documents (which actually means all kinds of files, not just Word or other documents).

Tip : We recommend that you put your Attached Documents Library in the same place where you keep your company file.

To enable OCR scanning:

You can also choose to apply optical character recognition (OCR) to photos, drawings, and other graphic files. OCR means that QuickBooks will analayze your photo or graphic for text. When you search for words in QuickBooks, it'll find any attached photos and graphics files with those words in them and show them to you as search results.

If you think (or know) that OCR is going to be important to you , be sure you've optimized your graphics files so that QuickBooks can read them clearly. More...

  1. Check the OCR box if you want QuickBooks to read your photos and graphics and make them available for searches later on. About OCR...
  2. Click the red X at the top of the pane to close Preferences. QuickBooks saves your choices automatically.
