To set up a word processor, spreadsheet, or other application to work with
Direct, follow these steps:
1
Launch the Direct program.
2
Launch the application you want to register.
3
Click once on the Direct icon at the bottom of the Windows Pro-
gram Manager window.
The Direct control menu will appear.
4
Click Register Application...
The Register Application dialog box will appear.
5
Click either the Word Processor or Spreadsheet radio button: Word
Processor if your application deals mostly with text or Spread-
sheet if it deals mostly with columns of numbers.
6
Click Register.
7
Click the iconized mouse pointer in the window of the applica-
tion you want to register.
The Scan Text... command will appear in your application's File or
Windows Control menu.
If, after registration, your application crashes when you click Scan Text...,
you'll need to use a key combination to start a scan. See Enable hot key in
this chapter.
Reject Character
This edit box lets you choose a character to mark unrecognized characters
in your text. For example, if Direct could not recognize the J in REJECT,
and the tilde (~) was the reject character, the characters RE~ECT would
appear in your text.
Scanner
Select Scanner if you install a different scanner.
This dialog box will appear when you launch Direct for the first time.
Highlight the appropriate scanner name and click OK.
With some scanner installations, you'll need to type in information about
your scanner's port address, speed, or other parameters. If the Hardware
Options section of the Scanners dialog box is gray, you don't have to do
anything.
If Hardware Options is not gray, check your scanner's documentation for
how to determine your scanner's port address and other parameters.
