the copy is linked to a container application. Page View opens so that
you can edit the item in PaperPort.

3. If you have finished, quit PaperPort, and the item will be updated in
the container application.

from the File menu. Then press the Delete key or choose Delete
Item from the File menu to delete the temporary item from the
Desktop.

drag it onto one of the link icons. Typically, you will use a graphics
application such as Microsoft Paintbrush.
