The PaperPort software is designed to work with—or link to—other
types of applications. One way to send items on your computer to other
applications is by using the Link Bar. The Link Bar is a small, separate
application that automatically starts every time you start your Macintosh
computer. The Link Bar automatically displays link icons for applications
installed on your computer and supported by the PaperPort software,
such as your printer (to make photocopies), electronic fax, e-mail, image
editing, and word processing applications. The following figure shows the
Link Bar with a variety of link icons.

A word processing link works
with the OCR software provided
with the PaperPort software.
You can add other links to the Link Bar and change link application
preferences by choosing Preferences from the Visioneer menu. For more
information, see the PaperPort User's Guide and PaperPort Help. To use
the Link Bar, you do not need to first start the PaperPort Desktop or the
Page Viewer applications. Instead, you can either click the Link Bar, press
the F12 function key, or choose Show Link Bar from the Visioneer menu.
For an example of how to use the Link Bar to convert an image to text,
