Annotating a Document You can use DECsound recordings to annotate DECwrite documents. In this lesson, you will create a DECwrite document, create a graphic in the document, and insert a LiveLink connection to a DECsound recording, as follows: 1. If you are not currently running DECwrite, start a session by choosing DECwrite from the Applications menu of the Session Manager or FileView, or by entering the following command: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECWRITE 2. Specify the following document name in the Open Document dialog box: NEW.DOC 3. Choose Graphics... from the DECwrite Draw menu to display the Graphics dialog box. 4. Create a simple graphic in the DECwrite document. 5. Create the LiveLink connection by following the steps described in the LiveLink Connections from DECwrite help topic. When you finish, click on the Go Back button in the DECsound help window to return to the tutorial. The DECwrite document now contains a data block for the DECsound recording, and DECwrite opens a new DECsound window. 6. In the new DECsound window, click on the Record button and record a description of the graphic. 7. When you finish the recording, click on the Save button in the new DECsound window, then click on the Exit button to remove the new DECsound window. 8. If you want to save the DECwrite document, choose Save from the DECwrite File menu. You have now completed the LiveLink connection. If you specified the -icon qualifier in the DECwrite Link options dialog box, the DECwrite document contains an icon that indicates the presence of a DECsound recording in the document. In subsequent DECwrite sessions, a DECsound window containing the file you specified is displayed when you double click on the DECsound icon.
