  1.  Choose Links from the File menu.

                                Note

      You must have the Full menus option turned on to

  2.  Choose Link...  from the Links submenu.

      DECwrite displays the Link dialog box.  For information
      about the Link dialog box, click on the Help button in the
      dialog box.

  3.  Click on a file name in the list box.  If you want to create
      a new DECsound recording, enter the name of the file in
      the Selection text entry box.

  4.  Click on the Options...  button in the dialog box.

      DECwrite displays the Link Options subdialog box.  For
      information about the Link Options subdialog box, click on
      the Help button in the subdialog box.

      In the Link Options subdialog box, enter the LiveLink
      connection information, as follows:

      a.  Specify the file location type for the file that contains
          the recording to which you want to link.

          The location also affects the way that the audio file is
          treated if you mail the DECwrite document.

      b.  Specify DECsound in the Application Name text entry
          box, as follows:

          SYS$SYSTEM:DECSOUND
      c.  If you want the DECwrite document to display
          an icon to indicate the presence of the DECsound
          recording in the document, specify the -icon qualifier
          in the Parameters text entry box, as follows:

          -icon

                                Note

      This option is available for DECwrite Version 2.1 only.

      d.  Click on OK to dismiss the Link Options subdialog
          box.

  5.  Set the Invoke Application toggle button to the On state if
      you want to invoke DECsound.

  6.  Set the Keep Natural Size toggle button to the Off state if
      you want to specify the size of the DECsound icon that is
      displayed in the DECwrite document.

  7.  Click on OK in the Link dialog box.

  8.  Position the pointer at the spot in the document window
      where you want the DECsound data block to be displayed,
      drag MB1 to size the data block, then release MB1.
