  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.
