Fax service unavailable

[Dan]

I have Office XP on Windows XP Home edition. When I set up a mail merge
document, the option to fax is not available. I have two fax services
installed, one of which is internet based and the other is Microsoft Fax (I
believe). I am able to print to fax. At any rate, how do I get the "fax"
option to appear in mail merge?

TIA,
Dan

File>Print........select Fax Printer in the printer drop down?

I haven't had the opportunity to do so, but I think the fax merge should
take the fax phone numbers from the data source. Then, it should send each
of my faxes (résumés)to each recipent (potential employer) for me without
having to enter each number individually. I have done it in the manner you
suggest, however, it takes hours and hours whereas merging would save a
significant amount of time.

Sorry I missunderstood the requirement
