in Word, print to fax

[Paul J. Perillo]

When I had just Wordpad, I was able to go into File/Page Setup to change the
printer to the fax just for that session. Now, in MS Office XP, Word seems
to have no such option. This seems like a step backwards. Is there a
solution? I only want to change the default printer to fax while I have my
resume open so I can fax it now and the system default printer otherwise
remains the same.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Add the following macro to a toolbar button to send the current document to
fax without manually changing the default printer. If you are using fax
software other than Microsoft Fax change the name of the fax driver.

Sub FaxPrint()
Dim sCurrentPrinter As String
sCurrentPrinter = ActivePrinter
ActivePrinter = "Fax"
Application.PrintOut FileName:=""
ActivePrinter = sCurrentPrinter
End Sub
