Linking to Other Applications
Using Link Icons
With the PaperPort software you can send scanned items to other
applications using icons on the Link Bar. The links available to the
PaperPort software depend on the applications installed on your
computer. The PaperPort software automatically displays the link icons
described as follows:
•
Printer—Print items instead of selecting the Print command from the
File menu.
•
Fax —Fax items using your fax software. If you are using one of the fax
applications that the PaperPort software supports, the icon for that
application appears. If you are using another fax application, the icon
will be a generic fax icon. You can select that fax application in the
PaperPort Preferences dialog box.
•
Word Processor—Open items after the text is converted by your OCR
software. The PaperPort software will create a link icon for each
supported OCR application on your computer. You can then convert
text directly to that application using the drag-and-drop techniques.
•
Spreadsheet—Displays the spreadsheet selected for the OCR software
provided with the PaperPort software. Use this link when you want to
convert a scanned spreadsheet into editable numbers and text. Like the
word processor link, this link will process an item, convert the text and
numbers, and then open the item in the selected spreadsheet application.
•
E-mail—Send a PaperPort item as an attachment to an e-mail message.
The Link Bar displays an e-mail icon for each supported e-mail
application installed on your computer.
•
OCR—If other OCR applications are installed on your computer, their
icons will appear on the Link Bar. When you use an OCR link, the OCR
application will ask what format to convert the file to.
•
Graphics (and other applications)—The PaperPort software adds
icons for other applications, such as graphics applications, to the Link
Bar as needed.
T i p For information about selecting the scanning options that will give the
best results for items that you want to process with your OCR software,
or send as e-mail or fax, see Chapter 2, Using the Scanner.
