I get a number of faxes and would like to recieve them as
a paperless item. I am not sure that this is a function
of the Word xp or if it requires a program. If there is
a way to set this up in w-xp I woulds be greatful if some
one would share the proceedure.

Thanks
Lisa
 
The fax software to enable paperless incoming faxes is part of the OS. You
can enable the
feature from Start\ControlPanel\Add or Remove Programs\Add/Remove Windows
Components. Just check the Fax Services check box. Some files will get
copied (you may need the original Windows CD) and the feature will be
enabled. You can send/receive faxes from the PC as if it were a fax machine.
The received faxes are stored on the PC. You can also use Word XP to fax
documents on your PC.
Instead of printing to a regular printer, you print to a Fax printer (which
is enabled when you install
the fax software).

You can use XP for sending or receiving faxes. The faxes sent/received will
be a paperless entity unless you choose to print them.

For this you need an analog telephone connection to your PC and a modem.
Make sure the modem is a Microsoft certified modem listed in
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ca...ryl2&pgn=01a642fd-2790-420f-90bd-85df6a377206 .

You can install the Fax software as follows. Goto Control Panel->Add/Remove
Programs->Add/Remove Windows Components. Check on Fax. Note this might
require the original OS CD. This will install the Fax component on your
machine.

Launch Fax Console and configure fax [Start->All
Programs->Accessories->Communications->Fax->Fax Console->Tools->Configure
Faxes]. Configure receiving of faxes on your device - you may want to have
automatic reception enabled.

Your Fax is now setup for use. All your Faxes will be saved on your hard
disk and you can view.manage them from the Fax Console. If you choose to
print the Fax you may always open a Fax item and print it. There are other
ways to print it too.
