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.)
