The Send To bar allows you, for instance, to convert a scanned document to an editable text file simply by dragging the document to an icon on the Send To bar.
Text on a scanned page is simply a picture of the text, it cannot be edited. You can, however, drag a scanned page to a supported word processing icon, such as Microsoft Word, on the Send To bar. PaperPort will convert the scanned image to text before sending the item to Word, using the its own optical character recognition (OCR) software.
PaperPort supports a wide variety of programs including word processing, spreadsheet, fax, Internet e-mail, graphics, OCR, and online services programs.
Icons on the Send To bar — and on the Send To list of the PaperPort button — identify the programs to which you can send your items without leaving the PaperPort program. These program icons are referred to as "links." A program link may provide Send To options accessed via the icon's shortcut menu.

Notes
Certain program links can accept multiple items. Others accept only specific types of items. The operation depends on the file type and the program. For example, you can select multiple items and drag them as a group to the Recycle Bin to delete all the items — or drag individual PDF files to the Microsoft Word icon to create a multi-page text item.
If a program link is unable to accept multiple items, PaperPort displays a message that prompts you to send each item separately. It also warns if an item type is not supported by the target program
You can use PaperPort's Send To bar to start programs without leaving the PaperPort program: ensure no item is selected in the current workspace, then on the Send To bar, click the icon for the program you want to start.
