i have had problems getting that seeminly built in program with office that is called Microsoft Fax, ex: like when you are in a Word Document and go to the File drop down Menu it has a Send to Fax Recipent option and then looks like you can go thru the motions of sending a fax.

However all the help files i’ve read seem to be on a Modem basis, and no sending help information when you are using a Voip for your phone line (or a DSL / Cable) any suggestions?

Or does anyone know of a free / inexpensive fax program that enables you to directly send faxes from a document from your computer instead of having to print it and then fax it?

Part of my desire in doing this is to save on paper… Thanks !

p.s. Happy Friday Everyone )

I would like a free fax program for my Vista Home premium computer. Mr. Gates decided not to include it in this version. He wants me to upgrade to get the Fax program. [ I GUESS HE NEEDS THE EXTRA MONEY ] I have a XP computer with microsoft fax on it. Is there a way to copy this to my Vista computer.

Thanks

My husband routinely sends faxes using the Microsoft fax program. The other day he decided to use one of the cover pages for the first time. Now everytime we fax something that cover page is automatically selected. How do we turn this feature off? We are using Windows XP. Thanks!!

I don’t have a fax machine, i am using the built in Microsoft Fax console, but can never send a fax. My comuter has a built in fax modem. My computer makes a tone, but of course I don’t have a phone line hooked up because I am using cable to access internet. So, Do I also need to pug in a phone line then? If so can I just hook line straight from wall jack to computer? Also, when I type in the number to be dialed do I put in dashes or spaces?

Yes I have read directions and combed the net, it ONLY talks about sending/receiving. I know how to do that. It does not explain hardware hook up or components needed.
yes I read the dang instructions "point terrorist!" Need real answer here plz!
