Quick Links to 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.)
