Links to Many Other Applications

ScanSoft™ 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® in the On-Line- Documentation on the CD-ROM for more information about creating new links.)

Using ScanSoft™ TextBridge® OCR (Converting Image Text to Text You Can Edit)

Software by:

ScanSoft™ TextBridge® OCR is installed automatically with PaperPort® when you install Multi- Function Link® Pro on your computer.

ScanSoft™ PaperPort® can quickly convert the text on a ScanSoft™ PaperPort® item (which is really just a picture of the text) into text that you can edit with a word processing application. PaperPort® uses the optical character recognition application ScanSoft™ TextBridge®, which comes with PaperPort®—OR—PaperPort®uses your application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy As Text command, you can select only a portion of the text to convert.

Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort®’s built-in OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.

Importing Items from Other Applications

In addition to scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort® in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort® (MAX) files in several different ways:

■Print to the Desktop View from another application, such as Microsoft Excel.

■Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows® Bitmap (BMP) or Tag Image File Format (TIFF).
