Your best kept secret is MSN FAX CONSOLE, FAX without paper/ink
-- Window's XP Professional, Word, MSN FAX Console, you can fax without paper and ink (of course). It is one of the best kept secrets. To Power Use it, access it through MSN Word, FILE PRINT, SELECT YOUR FAX PRINTER, AND THE PROGRAM WILL POP UP FOR YOU TO USE. That is also how you can access the LOG. It is NOT(the log of unsent faxes) accessible thru Fax Console itself, but only thru accessing file, print, on Word. Then you can access the log of unsent faxes and resend. You do need to be aware that you can switch between your fax printer and printer and you can select it off the screen when you go to print (my memory is failing me right now). The other way to just set and leave it to fax printer go to "Start" "Control Programs" "printers" Set your printers to FAX Printer (File, default, fax printer). When you want to go back to printing again, just reverse the order and select File, default, PRINTER. Or you can just select the fax printer from your 4 in one printer when you access it from Word, just read your screen carefully to see that it doesn't say printer, click on the arrow to select, fax printer. You can also combine Excel and Word worksheets into one worksheet and fax out 5 pages at one time, no paper, no INK. You can do the same with your Power Point Presentations, I have not tried it yet. But the same concept would apply, the File Print method above. You do NOT have to join a fax service to fax directly from your printer. Your telephone line should be billed directly. The program keeps a log of all the numbers you have dialed. I am using a HP 5510 Fax Scanner Copier Printer. Wonderful little program and a well kept secret, not well documented in any books. You really have to read the help screens. File, print in MSN Word will/should bring up the screen you need to fax. That screen is only a document for the log, it does not print the information on the fax. You have to have a Cover Letter or type the customers name on the document. Sweet Program! It really would have helped to have a short introduction to this concept of the program to get an overall understanding QUICKLY, instead of struggling along trying to get this to work. If you are a large business, going thru a business that tracks your expenses are fine. But a smaller business can handle this on it's own. I handle 400 Contacts. The ones I don't have an e-mail address on, I fax. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
