Create a FAX distribution group in OUTLOOK 2007

[Cohocton Wind Watch]

Sir,

Understand how to select FAX option from the print pull down menu.
However, my test selection address (to a local number) got a voice
message that I need to select 1 or 0 .

Goal is to input a couple hundred FAX numbers for distribution of
letters. Can I just add names with FAX phone numbers to the contact
list, and then create a distribution group (know how to do that) ???
Will the entire list of FAX numbers from the contact list be
configured automatically to broadcast the entire FAX list?

Appreciate a solution and detail instructions.

What fax program were you thinking you would use for this? You will not find
one that integrates with Outlook and supports sending to multiple
recipients. You most certainly would not use Print to Fax for this.

Russ,

Thanks for the reply. Well I have the ability to add FAX numbers into
the Brothers address book for my 7820N machine and fax using that
device. But would rather use a software program that can access
OUTLOOK group lists if possible.

From your answer, it seems that I may need a completely separate
program (that can import OUTLOOK contacts) that will stagger the
faxing (not all sent at once) while using the modem in the computer.
Am I understand correctly?

If yes, can you recommend any such software that is user friendly and
has the ability to broadcast ???

Appreciate your input.

I've documented the options for Microsoft fax software that can integrate
with Outlook here:
http://home.indy.rr.com/russval/fax.htm
Outlook 2007 is the same as 2003 in this regard and you can add Vista Fax
and Scan to this list.
None of these basic fax modules will support sending to more than 2 or 3
recipients at one time. You should be looking at a fax board and third party
software for your needs. Some of them may be able to integrate with Outlook.
I do not test or monitor those products. You might try looking here:
