List the steps you are using to send the fax.
State the format of the message you are trying to send.
State whether there are any attachments.

After installing Fax Services in window and after adding Fax Transport
Service as an e-mail account on my Outlook 2002,
I do the following:
1. open a new mail message
2. choose in accounts box the Fax Transport Service
3. in the "To" box I write: "[fax:111-111-1111]"
4. i tried do it with and without attaching a word file.
5. i press send button.

If i attacha word file, the file opens, and shows a window stating it
is printing the file to the fax, and then it disappears and nothing
happens.

If i don't attach anything, it sends the message and then nothing
happens.

In both cases I imediately recieve a mail message to my Inbox stating
(in Hebrew) that the printing to the Microsoft Fax couldn't be
completed (it doesn't state why).

By the way - if I try to print from a document directley to the fax
printer it works perfectly well, but Iwant to use the outlook because I
want to merge letters to the fax.

Thank you very much for your help
(I hope my English is clear enough)

Your English is fine. Perhaps mine wasn't. Remember that I asked you for
the format of your message. If it is HTML, change it to plain text. You
appear to be asking the Fax Service to render your fax. The Fax Service
has no rendering capability. Neither does Outlook. So your message must
not contain anything that requires rendering (like formatting or
signatures, etc.)

I don't see any difference between this format and the one I'm using:
[fax:123-456-7890]

When you type in the one-off address then leave the To: field does the
number resolve?
What mail transports are in your Profile?
What happens if you create a Contact with a Fax number in international
format and select that recipient instead of using a one-off address?

Hi,

Maybe I can help you cause I am using Windows XP SP2 with
Microsoft FAX and Office.

To send fax converting from Outlook mail message, "printing" it
with Microsoft FAX is the correct method.
This printing is to be done choosing file-print in your new
message composing window and selecting Microsoft FAX as
your printer.

2. choose in accounts box the Fax Transport Service


Your step2 IS NOT necessary. "Account" does not do anything
with sending FAX in Office XP.

Microsoft FAX will take over the task once you "print" the message,
and

3. in the "To" box I write: "[fax:111-111-1111]"


This recipient fax number must be input while Microsoft FAX is
processing your message.
The message sent is then saved in FAX console not in Outlook
after all faxing process is done.

If you have Symantec "WinFAX 10.X" with your Office XP, things are
more simpler, just pushing FAX button icon in Outlook will show you
the FAX message composing window.
You can do all tasks in the window. In this case FAX message
sent is saved in Outlook2002 if you set so.

Hope this helps.

Duke

Thanks, but that is not correct. When sending a Fax message from Outlook, it
is not necessary to Print to the Fax Printer.
