On MS Learning it says that Imaging can fax multiple pages but I can't find
Imaging in WinXP-Pro. Was there a replacement so I can still fax multiple
pages?
 
"Imaging?" To what are you referring?
Normally one faxes multiple pages by printing a mutipage document to the Fax
printer. You don't need a special application to do that.

*IF* you have successfully installed Windows XP Fax Services, there will
be a "Fax Printer" installed, which you can confirm by looking in
"Printers and Faxes." If you have the Fax printer, then from ANY
Windows application, select Print, and in the print dialog that pops up,
select "Fax" from the drop-down box. The Fax Wizard will open, allowing
you to enter the telephone/address information, and all pages of the
document will be faxed.

Note that Windows XP Fax can NOT fax multiple pages by *combining*
documents. You have to combine separate pages into a single document first.

If there is no "Fax" included in the list of available printers, then
you have not installed Windows XP Fax Services. See

If you have installed any component of Microsoft Office (e.g., Word),
you should see Microsoft Document Imaging from
Start > All Programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Tools
 
Yes that I can do IF I use MS Word to print a document. My problem is when I
scan a few pages they come out as single files rather than a combined
document. Is there some way of scanning into a document which will contain
the multiple pages?

I also can insert my single scanned pages into Word and print that way but
this means another step which I would like to eliminate like I could with
WinFax Pro.

The only way to fax multiple single pages WITHOUT an intermediate step is
with Office Outlook where you can attach pages. Anything else requires an
intermediate step where the separate pages are combined into a single
document. You can do this with Word, as you've discovered, and you can also
do it with Acrobat Pro and with Microsoft Office Document Imaging.

....or with whatever software your scanner provides. Any decent scanner
provides their own software for this.
