USING PAPERPORT
®
AND TEXTBRIDGE
Links to Many Other Applications
ScanSoft
™
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
®
in the On-Line-Documentation on the CD-
ROM for more information about creating new links.)
