I think you could probably do something similar using the Microsoft Office
Document Image Writer - print each document you want to fax to the Image
Writer, then combine the documents using the Image Writer. Then print to fax
from the Image Writer. You can create new fax cover sheets for Microsoft Fax
using the Fax Cover Page Editor (which comes with Windows, I think). Not
elegant, but since it's also possible to automate the Image Writer it might
be possible to make this slightly simpler than it sounds. If you happene to
have the full Adobe Acrobat, you can also combine output using that and
print the result to fax.

Never tried it though.

The problem is maintaining the format of the documents if you combine them
to produce a single output. For this I would use MightyFax (though I am
sure others could do it). You create separate faxes on file for each
document then you can create a fax in MightyFax and add the individual
files to send a combined fax. I have only ever had to do this once with
some contract documents but it did the job.

I like this tip, but how do you add another document to be faxed to
you Word cover sheet template. I am looking for an easy (elegant)
solution. I know I can send faxes from Outlook and send multiple
documents as attachements. The one thing that I can not do with the
Fax Wizard though is to use (or make) additional Recipient fields
beyond the 2 that the wizard (and cover sheet) allow -- the name and
fax number. I need to be able to add Company Name, Job Number,
Project Name, etc. to the Recipient information on the cover sheet.
Any ideas? I was thinking about creating a stand-alone app but am
looking to see if any other ideas surface.

Thanks, Dan Carroll

I always found the fax wizard too much trouble. You may (as I did)
find it simpler to create a template for your faxes, then use the
method at http://www.gmayor.com/fax_from_word.htm to send fax
documents produced from it (or any other document for that matter).
Good

i recently upgraded to Word 2003. i have been using the fax wizrd
successfully for years. now when i start the fax wizard and click
next it opens a blank page and exits. previously it walked me
through selecting a template, selecting recipents and sender. i
would type my fax and it would send it. if i manually slect a
template and manually fill it out then use send to and select a
recipent, for my address book every thing works fine. so i know
that microsoft fax is installed and working. i have tried using
help and nothing it suggests seems to work either. What am i
missing?
