Cannot use my company logo in `send letter to contact' word template

[BT-Steve]

I'm migrating my contact management to Outlook 2003 from Act! 6.

The only obstacle I have come up against is that while in Act! sending a fax
(by fax modem) with my logo .gif using a MS Word template is a dream, it is
not apparently possible with Outlook.

I've modified the `contemporary letter' template but read on MSKB that it
does not do graphics. I'd appreciate any ideas.

Never use the New Letter to Contact Wizard. It works very poorly and does
not permit things like logos or boilerplate text. It has been abandoned in
current versions.
Just create the document you want to Fax in Word and Print it to the Fax
printer. Use Word's Insert Address function to add Contact information to
it.

Thanks, I've done that and it works just fine. The migration I talked about
was ahead of moving to Office 2007 so I'll best run the evaluation copy of
it to check other aspects.

Outlook 2007 no longer has the "New Letter To Contact" Wizard.
