Default Using Dialing Rules when Sending Faxes in Outlook 2003

Pauses are easy it insert, use a comma wherever you want a 2 second pause
(10 seconds would be 5 commas - ,,,,,).

Also, if there is no way to have faxes sent from Outlook using Microsoft

Fax
Service choose between two different locations using Dialing Rules, is

there
any way to insert pauses in the phone number so that I could dial the

entire
calling card before the fax number (i.e.
[fax:14043453535PPP777777777#PPP14449045353] where 14043453535 is the
calling card number, PPP are for pausing, 777777777# is the PIN number and
the # after entering the PIN number, and 14449045353 is the number I'm
trying to call, or something similar to this that allows pauses)??

Thanks!

Hal,

Thanks for the reply. I was using the correct "international format" to
send the fax, but you kind of lost me regarding per-user settings vs.

system
account settings. Can you explain what you meant by that?

Thanks!

the Windows XP Fax service will not process dialing rules unless the

phone
number to which you are sending the fax is in "international format."
Details on how to use international format to invoke dialing rules are
available he

If your Calling card settings are part of the per-user settings,

you're
out
of luck with Windows XP Fax. The XP Fax Service can only run under

the
System account, so per-user settings are not available to it.

Hi,

I currently use Windows XP SP1 with Outlook 2003 and Microsoft Fax

Service
(I also have WinFax 10 installed but don't really use it and think I

might
just uninstall it). I'm wondering if there is a way to use Dialing

Rules
when sending a fax from Outlook 2003. I have two locations set up

(home
and
home w/calling card) and would like to sometimes be able to send the

fax
from the home w/calling card location so that I can use the calling

card
and
not end up paying for long distance. Anyone have any idea how to do

this?
Thanks for the help!
