HE BASIC STEPS FOR USING LINKS
When you send an item to a linked application, Visual Explorer
processes the item, the application starts, and the item appears in the
application.
The links are available on the Link Bar and the Links menu.
To send a PaperPort item to a link in Desktop View:
1. Make sure all the item(s) to send appear in Desktop View.
2. Drag and drop the item onto the appropriate link on the Link Bar.
or
From the File menu, choose Links, and then select the appropriate
linked application from the Links submenu.
Tip: Because the Link Bar is not available in Page View, you must use
the Links submenu to send an item to a linked application.
The linked application starts.
3. Use the linked application as you usually do.

ETTING A LINK
A link's preferences determine how a link operates. For example, with a
printer link you can set the number of copies, page orientation, and so on.
Each link's preferences are preset, but you can customize them for how
you want the link to work. While the preferences are different for each
link, how you display them is basically the same.
