How can I send an Office document to fax using Vista. With 2000 I selected
File-Print-Fax.

It depends which version of Windows Vista you have. Some versions do not
include fax software and no versions of Windows installed the fax software
by default. If you have one of the Home versions of Vista you will either
have to upgrade it to a version that includes fax or install a Vista
compatible third party fax application. Then you can print to the fax driver
as before.

What version of Vista? Only Vista Business and Ultimate have the Fax and
Scan modules, no fax is included on Vista Home and Basic editions. If you
have Home or Basic, these fax applications are compatible with Vista:

Snappy Fax

RKSFax

VentaFax

FaxTalk FaxCenter Pro 7.5

I've seen reports that the free version of BVRP works with Vista also:

BVRP PhoneTools

Since the above comes bundled with new USR modems, I don't know if it will
work with non-USR modems. You can also send Faxes via your Internet
connection provided you are willing to pay for an Internet E-Faxing service:
