Using Object Linking and Embedding
(OLE)
You can insert a PaperPort software item into another Windows
application, such as Microsoft Word, using object linking and
embedding (OLE). The item will appear as a thumbnail in the Word
document (the container application), creating a special link between the
PaperPort software and Word. When you double-click the thumbnail in
Word, the PaperPort software opens and you can view or edit the item. If
you edit the item in the PaperPort software, those edits will also appear
in the thumbnail in Word.
N o t e Before starting, check the application’s documentation to see if it
supports OLE.
