Does anyone know anything about MS fax?
A bit old hat now I guess but I had cause to use it recently and can't get it to work.
In Word/file/send to/fax recipient I get the fax wizard OK but when I get to the 'which fax program do you want to use to send the fax' Microsoft Fax is greyed out. I tried pulling down 'Fax' in the box (along with the printers) but it still wont work.
I've configured the dial-up modem OK and proved it works (on my back-up dial-up ISP) but the Outbox in Fax Console always shows timed out attempts with 'fatal error' (protocol problem I think)
I used to have a third party fax before (Mighty Fax) which worked fine but I deleted it and put in MS version. To be honest it's so long since I used the fax facility but I remember it was a doddle with Mighty Fax.
I've looked at the help file until I went practically dizzie but could'nt spot what I might have done wrong.

Jump to PostWhat OS are you running? When you pull down the drop-down box, what other options are there?
Could it be possible that Microsoft Fax is the default option?
Jump to PostDoes it even act like it's trying to dial, or anything? I'm just trying to determine whether there's a problem with the software or not-- it could be the reason why it's greyed out is because that's the only fax program you had installed, thus making it the default.
