Office 10 1.5 and Panther Fax

[Bette]

I have been successfully using OS X.3's new Fax facility on all
applications - it lets me pull fax numbers from OS X Address Book in
every program except Office! The "To:" field normally automatically
fills in the intended recipient's name from my first few key strokes.
However, in Office, I have to enter everything from memory. Even if I
bring up the People list, they cannot be selected.

Anyone have any idea when MS is going to fix this? Or, is it just my
installation?

I am using a PowerBook G4/1Mhz/512Mb RAM/60Gb HD/Panther/Office X 1.5.

TIA,

Bette

I get the same results, Bette. I've sent feedback to MacBU. Please
do the same by choosing Help/Send Feedback on (Word/Excel/PP) in an
Office Application.

Got a note back -

The Panther Fax dialog, like most dialogs in Office v.X that
interact with the OS, is generated by a call to an operating system
routine, not something internal to Office. Apparently this dialog
behaves somewhat differently than the Apple guidelines that were
used in developing Office v.X.

MacBU is working with Apple to try to resolve the problem.
