The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons for those linked applications.
To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start that application. A typical use of the Send To Bar is to choose an item and then fax it.
This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort® SE.
If PaperPort® SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually create a link using the New Program Link command.
