Pasting Notes Links Into Other Programs

Did you know that you can embed Lotus Notes links into content created with other programs such as documents, presentations, spreadsheets, etc.

First create your link (Document, View, or Database) in Lotus Notes

Then in the other application (such as Lotus Word Pro, MS PowerPoint, etc) choose Edit - Paste Special.
Make sure to select "Paste link" and select the "Display as icon" checkbox.

Many thanks to my IBM colleague Jennifer Smith for this idea.
