Does anyone know how to convert a GIMP image to a picture that can be viewed by Windows Fax Viewer?

   Windows Fax Viewer is for opening TIFF files, so you need to convert the GIMP file to a TIFF file.

   One way to it is to:
   1) Open the GIMP image in the GIMP program
   2) Then hit print. In the print dialog, select ‘Microsoft Office Document Image Writer’ as the printer, hit print. This will create an MDI document.
   3) Double click on the MDI document that you created in the previous step, it should open in Microsoft Office Document Imaging. Click File.. Save As… and select TIFF as the file type. This should give you a TIFF file that you can open in WIndows Fax Viewer.

   Hope this helps.

   convert??

   I may have misunderstood you, but according to the page
   http://www.gimphelp.org/formats.shtml
   you can save from GIMP into BMP or JPG, both of which can be viewed by Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
