An apparatus and method for a digital filing system which uses indexing (703), scanning (775), image storage (785) and image retrieval (795) as part of the efficient management of paper-based information. The preferred embodiments of the present invention provide easy and effective management of paper documents, transforming them into electronic documents using a system which incorporates many existing office resources. The proposed system implements a desktop solution for digital filing, which can be made available to each worker. In one embodiment of the present invention, an individual has complete control over the electronic storage and retrieval of their documents from a standard desktop computer, using a standard web browser application. Uniquely, the digital filing system of the present invention also allows users to index and label documents (760) prior to scanning/imaging (775) by using a dedicated desktop labeling mechanism.
