Faxing outlook forms

[Lisa]

Does anyone know why when you create a form that has fields in outlook and
try to fax the email none of the fields appear in the fax? Is there a way to
do this?

The process of faxing a message is the same as printing it. The fax application just renders it to a file instead of to a printer output. Since Outlook custom forms don't do WYSIWYG printing, the result you're seeing isn't surprising at all.

Whether something else is possible depends on your fax software and how much effort you're willing to put in to provide a separate output for sending to fax vs. sending to mail.
