creating fax cover sheet for contact

[Jacob]

I want to create a fax cover sheet from a contact, I open the contact and I
go to actions menu and I choose New Letter to contact.
The problem is I need a fax cover NOT a letter, I can not find where to
change the templates.
Will appreciate any help.

Two options:

1. Create a custom document that will appear in the New Letters to Contact
dialog. For your custom letter template to appear in the list of Page
Designs in the Microsoft Word Letter Wizard, the letter templates you create
must be saved in the "Letters & Faxes folder Word 97) or the Templates\1033
folder (Word 2000 or 2002). The word "Letter" must be in the file name.

Once you have set up your Custom Template(s) you should see it as a choice
when you use the New Letter to Contact option in Outlook.

2. The better option is to use a Mail merge from the Contacts Folder, then
save the merge document to reuse as an existing document the next time you
want to create a cover sheet. More details here:
