Go Paperless w/ Office XP?

[azspecter]

I want to convert my office over to a paperless office. I'd like to be
able to keep working within Outlook and all the office applications. Is
there a way to do this? Is there a contact management system out there
via Office? ie- I'd like to be able to store all scanned docs as PDFs,
but associate them with specific contacts & folders. So, for instance-
I get an email from a client, who then faxes me some documents, in
which I need to type in some things and FAX back. I also got a bill in
the mail that's associated with that same client- I'd like to be able
to file that in a pdf file and associate it with the contact. I could
also scan his business card he gave me at our meeting last week.

Essentially, I would be able to pull up any of those documents quickly
and easily by a number of different methods (keywords, account, client,
email).

Can office handle something like this? I know there's professional
contact management and document management softwares out there- but I'd
prefer to stick with Office.

Input?
Thanks

No, I meant "Desktop" as in the top surface of the desk!

Questions relating to and problems using the MS Office Suit should be
directed to the office newsgroup. This particular group is set up for
answering questions about Windows XP issues. As for "paperless", well
that's a standing joke since the desktop computer arrived and provided a
way to print 47 copies of an error riddled draft at the press of a button.
