Your best kept secret is MSN FAX CONSOLE, FAX without paper/ink

Window's XP Professional, Word, MSN FAX Console, you can fax without paper
and ink (of course). It is one of the best kept secrets. To Power Use it,
access it through MSN Word, FILE PRINT, SELECT YOUR FAX PRINTER, AND THE
PROGRAM WILL POP UP FOR YOU TO USE. That is also how you can access the LOG.
It is NOT(the log of unsent faxes) accessible thru Fax Console itself, but
only thru accessing file, print, on Word. Then you can access the log of
unsent faxes and resend.

You do need to be aware that you can switch between your fax printer and
printer and you can select it off the screen when you go to print (my memory
is failing me right now). The other way to just set and leave it to fax
printer go to "Start" "Control Programs" "printers" Set your printers to FAX
Printer (File, default, fax printer). When you want to go back to printing
again, just reverse the order and select File, default, PRINTER.

Or you can just select the fax printer from your 4 in one printer when you
access it from Word, just read your screen carefully to see that it doesn't
say printer, click on the arrow to select, fax printer.

You can also combine Excel and Word worksheets into one worksheet and fax
out 5 pages at one time, no paper, no INK. You can do the same with your
Power Point Presentations, I have not tried it yet. But the same concept
would apply, the File Print method above. You do NOT have to join a fax
service to fax directly from your printer. Your telephone line should be
billed directly. The program keeps a log of all the numbers you have dialed.
I am using a HP 5510 Fax Scanner Copier Printer.

Wonderful little program and a well kept secret, not well documented in any
books. You really have to read the help screens. File, print in MSN Word
will/should bring up the screen you need to fax. That screen is only a
document for the log, it does not print the information on the fax. You have
to have a Cover Letter or type the customers name on the document. Sweet
Program!

It really would have helped to have a short introduction to this concept of
the program to get an overall understanding QUICKLY, instead of struggling
along trying to get this to work. If you are a large business, going thru a
business that tracks your expenses are fine. But a smaller business can
handle this on it's own.
I handle 400 Contacts. The ones I don't have an e-mail address on, I fax.
