Sharpdesk Composer

Introduction

Using Sharpdesk Composer, you can combine files of different types into a single production- ready document. For example, you could combine a Word file with an Excel file, and then even add in a Lotus file. Composer lets you reorder pages, add a cover page or inserts, and then print, copy, or e-mail the entire document. You can load as many source documents as you need to create the new document.

The Composer eliminates the need to cut and copy documents from multiple applications. If you can print from an application, you can usually add the document to the Composer and create any document collection that might be required. Documents are added to Composer by dragging and dropping them into Composer’s work area or the Composer button on the Output Zone.

Documents can also be added to Composer by printing from the application that created the file through the Sharpdesk Composer printer driver. The following applications have been tested with Composer, with the indicated results and limitations.
