Sending Items to Other Programs Drag and drop functionality makes opening your files in your favorite programs a snap. Simply choose the file you want and drop it onto the program icon on the Send To bar at the bottom of the PaperPort desktop. Common office tasks like e-mailing and faxing are now faster than ever. The Send To bar makes using scanned documents in other applications easier by automatically translating the document into a form that the receiving application can understand. For example, you can drop a scanned image of a letter onto the Microsoft Word link on the PaperPort Send To bar, and PaperPort will recognize that the application you are attempting to open needs a text file rather than an image file. PaperPort will run OCR for you, and send editable text to Word rather than a static image file. E-mail link MS Word link PaperPort supports a wide variety of programs including word processing, spreadsheet, fax, Internet e-mail, graphics, optical character recognition (OCR), and online services programs. Icons in the Send To bar identify the programs to which you can send your PaperPort items. These programs are often referred to as linked programs. The program link on the Send To bar does any necessary conversion and may provide options for sending the item. 22 Sending Items to Other Programs
