Does Word use Outlook Address book for Faxes??

[Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]]

The program you launched from the Start Menu is Windows XP Fax. If you can
launch it, by definition it is installed. It can only be by the end user, so
someone must have installed it. Are you saying it doesn't work?

Thanks for the prompt reply Russ.

Can you teach me how to identify the fax software? Initially, I was told
to
go to Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs. When I did, the only thing that
appeared, using Fax in the name, was Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP.

I have even tried Start>All Programs>Accessories>Communications>Fax>Fax
Console. And while there is an Import option, it is only for importing
sent
and received faxes that are stored elsewhere.

I need your guidance.

I think perhaps you have not correctly identified your fax software. You
seem to be posting information about your modem and its drivers, which
are
not in play.
Microsoft's Fax software vary, but most will use whatever Contact manager
you have set for your operating system for their address book.

Russ, I am sorry, but I am at a loss. You posed this:
:

You must also specify your fax software if you want assistance.
Word
does
not have fax software.

:
I responded with the software that appears. Then you tell me you can
not
answer questions.

How about this. Let's say it is software that you do know about and
lets
say
it is also supported by Microsoft...if both conditions were true, how
would
you get an Excel file to speak with the address book? I will make a
leap
of
faith and assume if a supported MS software package can do it, my
software
might be able to do so as well.

Thanks

How could we answer questions about third party software we have never
seen
and that Microsoft does not support?

Sorry I am causing such problems. I do appreciate everyone helping.
I am using XP. The Software is called Soft Data Fax Modem with
SmartCP.
At
least that is what it said in Control Panel Add Remove Programs.
When I
look
it up in Control Panel under Modem it adds AC97 with a CXT Driver.
What do I need to do to allow Excel's address book into the fax
software??

:

Print-> Fax isn't a valid choice. That option has to be added by
some
add-in
possibly the fax software you've got installed. Control Panel->
Add/Remove
Programs will tell you what applications there are installed on
your
computer. Possibly the Fax Wizard could give you some clue about
which
application is being used.

When I am in Word, I go to Office Button>Print and select Fax. A
fax
wizard
comes up. That fax wizard contains the button for the Address
Book.

I can send a fax that way by typing the fax number each time.

I am not sure where to find the fax software you mention. Where
would
I
go
to find that answer?

Thanks,
k

I assume the address book in Outlook is the one that Word
accesses
for
faxes.

I have entered a name and fax number in Outlook. However,
when I
go
to
Word, it shows the button for the address book, but I can not
seem
to
find
any entries. Since there is only one entry, it is not a
matter
of
filtering.

If my assumption regarding Outlook?word is incorrect, how can
I
add
a
name
to the Fax Wizard when I click on the Address book button.
There
is
nothing
there to add new name.

I am using Word 2007 with Outlook 2003.

Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
