PaperPort Getting Started Guide 48
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.
T
he 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
W
ord 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.

PaperPort supports a wide variety of programs including word processing,
spreadsheet, fax, Internet e-mail, graphics, optical character recognition
(OCR), and online services programs. The program link on the Send To
bar does any necessary conversion and may provide options for sending
the item.
Use OmniPage with PaperPort
If PaperPort exists on a computer with OmniPage, its OCR services
become available and amplify the power of PaperPort. You can choose
an OCR program by right clicking on a text application's PaperPort link,
selecting Send To Options and then selecting OmniPage as the OCR
package, instead of the always available PaperPort OCR.
