Microsoft Fax mailmerge
Hi! Sorry for my english.
It is possible to send a big number of fax with Word mailmerge? And if yes, how can I do this? The Option "Fax" in the Mailmerge is unactive. I have Microsoft Win XP Pro SP1, Microsoft Fax, Word 2002 and Outlook 2002. Thank you. Stefano |

Microsoft Fax mailmerge
Sorry but I don't understand. I have enabled the merge to fax. How can I send
the faxes with my own fax/modem? The macro is only to send the faxes by fax services? Can I merge to fax without VBA?

Microsoft Fax mailmerge
Can I merge to fax without VBA?
See below, but I suspect that if you have Windows 2000 or XP and Word 2000 or later, then using the macro is likely to be easier and more reliable (once you have got it working) than any other approach. The macro is only to send the faxes by fax services? Every fax that you send via a local faxmodem on Windows 2000 and later goes via Windows' fax subsystem, one way or another, as far as I know. The macro just uses the standard software interface to the fax subsystem. It doesn't use anything that is not on a standard Windows XP system or a Windows 2000 system with the standard fax software installed. I have enabled the merge to fax. All that does is to set Word up so that it sends faxes via Outlook messages. To make that work at all a. the necessary Outlook fax service software has to be set up b. your data source must contain a field that has the fax number in the format that Outlook expects Even then, you may find that Outlook does not format the fax in the way that you expect. Sorry but I don't understand. I'm not surprised because as far as I know, Microsoft has provided at least 4 different ways of faxing from Windows/Office since Windows 95, and none of the recent versions provides a reliable, easy-to-use method to merge to fax. Can I merge to fax without VBA? You can certainly try. See, e.g. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/294695/ Peter Jamieson "r4gtl" wrote in message ... Sorry but I don't understand.

Ok! I'd try to setup the macro that you give me and now I can send faxes.
It.s all right, now. Thank you. I have more then 200 faxes to send and it is better send them in this way. Many Thanks Stefano "Peter Jamieson" wrote: Can I merge to fax without VBA?
