Links to Many Other Applications
PaperPort
®
automatically recognizes many other applications on your
computer and creates a “working link” to them. The Link Bar at the bottom
of Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link,
drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the
icon. A typical use of the Link Bar is to select an item and then fax it.
This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort
®
.
If PaperPort
®
does not automatically recognize one of the applications on
your computer, you can manually create a link using the Create New Link
command. (See PaperPort
®
Help for more information about creating new
links.
